While it was initially unclear how much impact the protest had on Reddit’s traffic, new data from internet analytics firm Similarweb provides insights. According to Similarweb, there was a small but noticeable decrease in daily visits to Reddit during the protest. On the day before the blackout began, Reddit had logged over 57 million daily visits across desktop and mobile web clients. However, by the end of the first day of the protest, daily visits dropped to below 55 million. On June 13th, Similarweb recorded fewer than 53 million daily visits, representing a 6.6 percent drop compared to the website’s average daily volume over the past month.
