People thought the meltdowns over the various FB redesigns or [x] decisions would hurt FB too (there were many major ones).

Most regular users on Reddit view it through feeds not individual subs. It’s very plausible the bulk won’t even notice, except when other people tell them it’s happening or it makes the news. Eventually others might wonder why they haven’t seen some sub posts recently but it will probably take a month or so.

These are the people clicking ads and using their mobile app.
