Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests

Read to the end for some scrumbling

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I refuse to use the reddit app. Theres a lot of features missing that I require.
- Making the font size adjustable requires hundreds of millions of dollars of investment! /s
  I'm not surprised at the statistics. Redditors using third party apps were probably more likely to be hardcore users and contributors and not just consumers/lurkers. Taking away those apps without a suitable replacement was a totally braindead move, especially when your official app is inferior to almost every single third party app out there.
  
  pretty sure blind people cant even use the official app, which pissed off the blind subreddit for some weird reason when 3rd party apps got nuked
  
  And the volunteer community of content transcribers allied with the blind community, who's goal was to ultimately draw attention to the issue to improve accessibility on the reddit app. Go figure.
