How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

Bounce back? Reddit is growing and 99% of users will keep using it.

It's a completely different place from 10 or even 5 years ago, and it will never change back.

And yet it dropped all the way to 20th most visited siteā€¦

Cope

I wanna say 20th is still pretty high, but quality of posts here are astronomically higher than reddit at the moment and if that continues to be the case, new visitors in general are gonna be signing up for both and will frequent the ones they most frequent. Same way we got on reddit, same way we got off reddit.
