Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I wanted to call bullshit ~~but they’re entirely right.~~* Comments per day took a nosedive. Now if only more hobby communities would lift off, I’d be able to abandon Reddit entirely. I’m up to my tits in Linux and privacy guides but I still know nothing of mushroom picking. Nothing!

Edit: *some users pointed out that subredditstats is no longer capable of accurately tracking comment numbers. I was wrong.

Is Subredditstats still working after reddit api changes?

My guess is that they are also rate limited, so that information may not be valid.

Another user and I checked and it seems not to be accurate anymore, you’re right.
