MODERATORS
Sadly, Reddit has won. Their traffic is higher now than before the API protests. It seems like the saying "All publicity is good publicity was true in this case. While one can appreciate a minimal downtrend in Twitter interest (as expected), Reddit interest is growing and even more after the protests. Google trends:
That is search terms not traffic. If I Google "Reddit controversy" it will add to the Reddit stat. Your literally just asking Google to tell you how many people included the word "Reddit" in their search query.
You're right, I should have said search interest. Though, I would argue it is correlated.
