Reddit's Traffic Is Going Back to Normal After the Subreddit Blackout
gizmodo.com
While Reddit's traffic took a slight hit in the first days of the moderator-led protest, it appears to be bouncing back to near-normal levels.

The bad, although expected news is that according to Similarweb via Gizmodo Reddit traffic is back to pre-protest levels. The caveat is that some of the traffic might still indicate protests, (i.e. John Oliver pics). Most interesting:

However, Similarweb told Gizmodo traffic to the ads.reddit.com portal, where advertisers can buy ads and measure their impact, has dipped. Before the first blackout began, the ads site averaged about 14,900 visits per day. Beginning on June 13, though, the ads site averaged about 11,800 visits per day, a 20% decrease.

For June 20 and 21, the most recent days for which Similarweb has estimates, the ads site got in the range of 7,500 to 9,000 visits, Carr explained, meaning that ad-buying traffic has continued to drop.>>>

    I think Infinity is going to pay if someone subscribes. The description in the Play Store is:

    Starting from July 1st, Reddit API will be pay-per-use for 3rd-party clients.

    In order to survive this change, Infinity will become a subscription-only app after July 1st. Learn more: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/147bhsg/the_future_of_infinity

    It’s required for you to update Infinity after July 1st. None of the previous versions (including this one) will work after July 1st. Due to a tight timeline, the update may not be available immediately on July 1st.
