[–] fred@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) Wow. Where did you get those numbers, would love to peruse permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Awoo@hexbear.net 25 points 3 years ago (2 children) https://subredditstats.com Go to literally any subreddit, scroll to the comments per day graph and check out the drop on July 11th. The official date of the change was July 1st but they delayed it or something with a grace period. That drop on July 11th is the api drop. Some examples in order - /r/mildlyinfuriating /r/whitepeopletwitter /r/gaming /r/Askreddit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fred@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 years ago (1 child) Hahaha wow.

I'll be honest, having quit using reddit for daily browsing and simply relegating it to its main productive purpose of "usable Google results," I kind of assumed that the outrage over the API pricing ultimately didn't have much of an effect. But this data is nuts. I guess it goes to show the effect that alienating power users can have on a site that's so power-user driven, where a fraction of users even comment and a tiny fraction of that fraction posts content and an even tinier fraction of that tiny fraction moderates to keep things running smoothly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 years ago* Just recently updated on this, reddit are actively trying to do something about it but are still in the "oh fuck what do we do?" stage of gathering information. https://hexbear.net/comment/3946548 I don't think this is all just alienating power users. I think a major aspect of this is disturbing routines that people previously had. When people have a daily routine where they do the same thing every single day you shouldn't disturb that because then they replace that part of their routine with something else, that's what users did with reddit imo when their preferred app no longer worked. They just used something else, probably Tiktok. permalink fedilink source parent
