That “blackout” movement, which briefly caused Reddit to go down, dropped daily traffic by about 7%

I wouldn't call single digit percentages a plunge.
But who knows, maybe they will continue to bleed users and the protest was just the first crack in dam wall:

Experts are unsure if the current protest will significantly impact Reddit or if it will just be another controversial moment in the platform’s history.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I don't think the largest wave of users leaving has hit yet. Once the big apps shut down today, I think there is going to be another wave that actually leaves, and then it's just going to trickle out for months probably as reddit gets less relevant since the people actually making the content are likely to be the ones to move.
