Reddit traffic returning normal, sort of. (gizmodo.com)

The bad, although expected news is that according to Similarweb via Gizmodo Reddit traffic is back to pre-protest levels. The caveat is that some of the traffic might still indicate protests, (i.e. John Oliver pics). Most interesting:

However, Similarweb told Gizmodo traffic to the ads.reddit.com portal, where advertisers can buy ads and measure their impact, has dipped. Before the first blackout began, the ads site averaged about 14,900 visits per day. Beginning on June 13, though, the ads site averaged about 11,800 visits per day, a 20% decrease.

For June 20 and 21, the most recent days for which Similarweb has estimates, the ads site got in the range of 7,500 to 9,000 visits, Carr explained, meaning that ad-buying traffic has continued to drop.>>>

That's my position too now. Until a week ago or so, I was holding out hope that reddit would change course and work something out with the app developers, now I hope reddit burns and turns into a complete shit heap.

Thanks to /u/Spez for opening his mouth, and to the admins for how they "handled" the protests.

This is exactly my thought process. They chose every wrong way to handle this possible. I was there almost a decade, but now I'm trying to find my new "home." There's no going back anymore.

I want to raze it to the ground - preferable during the IPO. The shares of spez shall be no more worth then toilet paper.

That will be the true test.
