Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?

Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

As a sidenote, I’ll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn’t use RiF anymore.

    I want to comment and submit content, I just feel like I don’t have anything of value to share. That tends to be why I lurk. Not sure if that’s the case for most other lurkers.

      I was mostly a lurker on reddit, but as others have inspired me to do, I comment and have made a couple of posts to help generate content.

      Yeah we’d need to know post rate % or avg posts per posting user to understand what’s up.

      Maybe 40% of reddit is lurkers? Maybe 5%?

      That’s certainly the reason I mainly lurk, I don’t have anything of value to add at the moment. When I do I definitely plan to create some content.
