Take those stats with a huge pinch of salt

Heads up! This data is likely out of date or inaccurate now that Reddit has decided to kill the open ecosystem that existed around Reddit. I don't earn any money from this site, and if my calculations are correct it'd cost me a couple thousand dollars per month with their new API pricing

You're trying to measure the effect of something that affected your measurement system.

Even if you ignore the latter half of 2023 there is a huge and consistent decline in number of posts per day.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where the data came from, but I tried to check up on a few subs, and they were definitely not doing well.
