Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

    It’s only hard for me to keep up with sports discussion without reddit but whatever.

        Sports radio is usually terrible though lol. Sports stuff is a legitimate hole here (compared to reddit), but I also have to imagine it’s much more resource intensive to host/moderate. Game threads routinely get thousands or tens of thousands of comments – it’s a bunch of people in there for three hours straight – and people yell at each other over sports all the time.

            If you want to know about or hear discussion around the game or something but are around other people without headphones, quietly reading what Redditors have to say is considered more polite than putting on the sports radio for everyone else to hear.
