SimilarWeb has just released traffic estimates for June. According to these estimates, Reddit’s traffic has seen a 3.36% month-over-month decrease.
For comparison, here’s how traffic has changed for other popular social networking websites:
- Discord.com: +0.51%
- Twitter.com: -1.65%
- Instagram.com: -1.35%
- Facebook.com: -3.18%
- TikTok.com: +0.77%
- Pinterest.com: -2.27%
- Youtube.com: -2.02%

Does it include clicking onto the site through a google search for troubleshooting or something? Or is it registered users? Because I would count as using reddit in that case, even though it was through an Adblock and I didn’t click any further.
reddit counts it even if youre not logged in as a user, so yes google click-throughs unfortunately count.
If you want to avoid counting towards reddit’s traffic, take a look at LibReddit / LibRedirect

You will count as traffic but maybe not as a unique user
I think the main purpose of these (and other link modifiers) is to deny them the ad traffic
