User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.

Edit: but also see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/88139/Reddit-traffic-returning-normal-sort-of which explains that ad visits are still waaay down - and continue going downhill.

That said, I really like this insightful take:

TL;DR - the protests worked, also expect to see a different headline once we reach June 30.

There's also the longer term effect that could be in play of the content pool drying up and driving users away, those changes are reverberations and wouldn't be having a dramatic immediate effect.

Right now if anything I'd expect views to be spiking due to the content generated from the drama itself. Once that dies out then damages to content generation from driving away users will be more evident.
