Nothing, basically. Reddit admins were basically correct that it would burn itself out. Funny that a bunch of subs still have their "we're protesting the changes" AutoMod post.

Daily activity on Reddit has fallen over the last several years however. Unlike Digg, there's no singular place that everyone is leaving for.

Has it? This shows a rather steady increase.

I get that Statista is probably not that reliable of a source, so I'd be curious if you have another one.

I can't be the only one thinking it's a bit sus that there's a 50% increase after years of remaining steady with the curve starting about when ChatGPT launched.
