I absolutely think that the numbers are correct. If Reddit is a habit for you you will not break it immediately (unless you really dislike the changes). This is just time spent, not how much users enjoy it. And if they don't enjoy the content as much because the quality dropped they will start looking for alternatives. But for most that is a long term thing.

    Perhaps you are right. It just seems suspicious that Reddit views went into rapid decline and then a few days later we get an article about how their views are back to normal.

    Although not conclusive if you do a Google keyword search for "Reddit alternatives" the numbers go stratospheric in the last 2 weeks.

    If people wanting to leave Reddit work normal levels, there wouldn't have been such a huge spike in searches.
