From https://www.redditinc.com/blog/https-www.redditinc.com-apifacts:

As of now, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open

The 48 hour blackout that was popularized was a complete joke and reminds me of all the corporations that change their social media pictures to pride-themed photos for like 2 days then revert back to not caring at all. Reddit literally did not give two shits about 2 days of ad revenue being gone because they knew it would be back to normal before most people even noticed.

Once July 1st starts a lot of redditors will move to lemmy or other sites because of the third party apps no longer available. Corporate greed practices should die. Also I won't be surprise that reddit will add more bots in the comments.

With the first blackout, any user who didn't bother to change remained on reddit. With July first, those on 3. Party Apps will be gone unless they actively surrender by switching to the official app.

U/Spez might think a majority uses the official app and that nothing is lost on 3. Party users who won't generate ad revenue anyway. However those users are probably the content creators that make the website worth a visit for all the "normies" that use the official app and costume ads
