Has Reddit won and what does that mean? (lemmy.world)

What are people's thoughts on how Reddit is coming out of this so far? How bad have things been for Reddit? Do we know how much their traffic has dropped and would a drip in traffic even hurry them that much. Why don't we see talk of a new blackout at the end of the month?

Wait 2 weeks, about 20-30% of reddit users use a third party application, 1 July most of them are going to wake up and find they can't, that's when the shoe will really drop.

I don't think those numbers are accurate at all, so you have any stats to back that up?

Third party apps are about 10% of total Android downloads. It is also theorized that the 10% are more likely to be power users than the Reddit average. 20% seems on the upper bounds of what I'd expect.

We may underestimate the amount of power-users who are really into their ad-free thrid party apps. The vast majority of reddit users more or less just lurk.

My source is a post I saw on Reddit a few weeks ago but can't find now. I give the reliability of those numbers a 6 out of 10 confidence rating.
