    Just from casually checking traffic stats on various websites it doesn’t seem to have changed much, though I have no idea how accurate those sites are. This is more likely just Spez copying Elon’s dumb ideas in an effort to increase monetization

      Spez copying more of Elons dumb ideas can only make it worse. but I’m not surprised if they have traffic about as usual, although IMO reddit has become steadily worse since Ellen Pao was fired in 2015, after banning revenge porn.

      I’m guessing that is the shitstorm Spez was referring to, when he claimed those blow over. The difference obviously being that the shitstorm against Pao was lead by crazies, and the shitstorm now is way more legitimate.
