Their pageviews per visitor is down, their time spent on site is down, bounce rate is up, they're dropping in website rankings...very, very substantially.
In 2018 they reached the 3rd spot in worldwide website rankings, beating out Facebook, only losing out to Google and Youtube.
They went from #3 two years ago, to #20 now.
While that might not seem substantial, anyone that is familiar with SEO, digital marketing, et al can confirm that you the closer you get to the top, the further the gap in traffic difference widens. The difference between #3 and #2 for example is astronomical.
reddit does a great job of hiding their traffic information but you can pull different stats form different areas of the web.
As of February 2020, they had 1.305 billion unique visitors that month
Alexa tells us that reddit has 4.48 page views per visitor which means they had roughly 5.85 billion page views per month, and roughly 70 billion per year assuming a leveled view-count. So let's even give it a range of 60-80 billion for safe measure.
This report shows in 2018 reddit received a total of 168 billion pageviews. 14 billion per month. This goes on to show that in 2015, they had some 82 billion pageviews.
This means perhaps half of their pageviews have been lost over the course of 2 years. Reddit is dying.
what they fail to understand is that once they circle jerk enough.
then its the same people saying the same things, ad nauseum.
without actual diversity of thought, then real discussions are forever lost.
they started banning Real Think (tm), they patted themselves on the back
whilst also proverbially stabbing freedom of thought, in the face.
even now, spez is mentioning how 'others left their platform and formed their own'
its like hes crying over the ideal that the peoples' voices he and reddit suppressed, left.
'why you no like my control over you? HOW DARE YOU LEAVE. MUH POWERRRRR'
fuck your nazi ass, Spez. get rekt.
much like all the other nazi-censor regimes, they want to be able to shit on
and control conservative voices, but then realize too they need to proft
from their interactions [on their platform]
i think this is why zucker was backtracking from controlling narratives.
he knows the game is about money and you cant cut off half your base.
but equally im glad they arent learning lessons.
So this means we'll meet them on their way down at some point?
They have cancelled all the most fun pages. And the politics and news chats are just poison. If you are a Trump supporter, you are alienated at every opportunity. Try and have an alternative opinion and get downvoted to oblivion. Why would anyone who isn't an Antifa maggot even engage with that piece of shit web site?
