The bad, although expected news is that according to Similarweb via Gizmodo Reddit traffic is back to pre-protest levels. The caveat is that some of the traffic might still indicate protests, (i.e. John Oliver pics). Most interesting:

However, Similarweb told Gizmodo traffic to the ads.reddit.com portal, where advertisers can buy ads and measure their impact, has dipped. Before the first blackout began, the ads site averaged about 14,900 visits per day. Beginning on June 13, though, the ads site averaged about 11,800 visits per day, a 20% decrease.

For June 20 and 21, the most recent days for which Similarweb has estimates, the ads site got in the range of 7,500 to 9,000 visits, Carr explained, meaning that ad-buying traffic has continued to drop.>>>

What apps? I haven't seen a single one.

And no, providing an api reduces load on the server because otherwise people use scrapers... Wich happened before. You just believe what reddit is shiting out.

I don‘t like your tone so I‘ll refrain from further participation in this discussion. Bye

How fragile are you? I said you believe reddits shit talk and you see it as personal offense? Are you paid by them or something?

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

There's nothing wrong with their tone. Seems like you just don't like being questioned about your empirical claims that you've provided no supporting evidence for.

None afaik. Only one I heard about that was going to give it a go was Relay but in the end it doesn’t matter.

The dev tried so hard but couldn’t make it work.

From what i gathered one, yes, one single dev wanted to sign up for it... But reddit just straight up ghosted them. (it was part of the ama)

Infinity is going to a paid subscription model

Most users already said they ain't paying for it i liked the app, but im not paying horrendous amounts of money for using fucking reddit, especially nit after that ama...

Yeah. I'd rather pay to support a kbin or lemmy instance. Especially if it were a cooperative or something like that.
