I know this is only anecdotal, but since the blackout started, my engagement with the site has plummeted to almost nothing. The few times I check my feed out of habit I simply don't see anything worth clicking on or engaging with in any of the dozens of subreddits I'm subscribed to. Old content also seems to take an absurd amount of time to be replaced with something new.
The only traffic I send Reddit's way is through search engine SEO, and if I can't find a good enough answer I simply join a Discord instead of creating a post in the subreddit. I have a hunch that if Discord ever decides to prioritize its communities being discoverable through search engines, Reddit is in even deeper trouble than it already is.
