MODERATORS
You're right to compare it to the other sites. It looks like people are dropping social media in general, and a lot of reddit's losses could be caused by that instead of the admins pissing people off.
That said, I think all of those losses are pretty huge, considering it's only a month. Extrapolate those numbers to a year and they become more like 10-30% depending on the site, which is pretty devastating.
If those are steady losses, some of those platforms may not exist in 5 years. I think that's a crazy thought.
But yeah, I agree with you, Reddit didn't lose that much more than the other sites, so I don't think this shows a giant exodus just because of because of the api changes.
