Reddit has failed to grow as fast as other social media platforms, and has contracted over the course of this year, a trend which the blackout hasn't helped.
ETA: Just to be clear, the first image comes from Statista, as stated, but the second two come from iTWire
ETA 2: Also to add, the majority of people on Reddit don't discuss, they consume. They're what we call lurkers, they just like to read through the posts and comments because they enjoy the content. Lurkers like Reddit, but are happy to consume elsewhere, and as such for those consumers, TikTok and Instagram remain viable alternatives because they have feeds of interesting content to scroll through. When someone's sitting on the toilet, they don't open Reddit to have a riveting discussion, they do it because they're bored, and other social media platforms also alleviate boredom.
