If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

    Yeah try googling questions and you’ll see the results of the blackout. I’ve already had at least 3 questions that would’ve been answered by reddit, but when I clicked the link I couldn’t read it because the community was private

      In b4 all the top mods get replaced and all the sub are un privated

      To permanently impact reddit, the users and not the mods would need to remove thier own posts

      Edit: only a few hrs after this comment, reddit started doing it. I’ve heard they started rollong back edit+deletes also, but as people call posts removed by mods “deleted” its not clear yet if its users own deletions being reverted.

      I had to put a block on the reddit domain on my searxng instance so I could find stuff without wasting time.

      This is one of my biggest fears of Reddit shutting down. The loss of information is going to be significant. Even the wayback machine doesn’t have as many archived posts as it seemed to before now.
