The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

I’d rather ask the question; how many weekly active users have Reddit lost in the past two months. It will likely take months until we know.
