    “According to data provided to Engadget by internet analytics firm Similarweb, the impact was small but noticeable. On the day before the blackout began on June 12th, Similarweb logged more than 57 million daily visits to Reddit across desktop and mobile web clients. By the end of the first day of the protest, daily visits were below 55 million. Then, at the end of June 13th, Similarweb recorded fewer than 52 million daily visits to Reddit. Compared to the website’s average daily volume over the past month, the 52,121,649 visits Reddit saw on June 13th represented a 6.6 percent drop.

    Over that same time period, Similarweb recorded a more dramatic decrease in the amount of time Reddit users were spending on the platform. The day before the protest began, an average session on the website was about eight minutes and 31 seconds long. A day later, that metric fell to seven minutes and 17 seconds, or the lowest that stat has been in the past three years. Reddit did not immediately respond to Engadget’s comment request.”

    Guess that’s why spez was on such a media blitz the last few days.

      General rule of thumb, the more a CEO desperately screams WE ARENT LOSING MONEY I PROMISE, the higher the chance that they’re losing a metric shitton of money

      Haha an average session on the website was about eight and a half minutes. Must be alot of folks that come to see one post and leave to average out those of us that are terminally online.

          8 minutes is about how long most people in hourly quota based jobs can comfortably take a bathroom break each hour, 12 minutes or so when you factor in walking to the bathroom and washing your hands.
