I noticed this too. It seems some people just arent ready to let it go and are blaming this protest for decreasing the number of users on the sub. What they fail to realize is that a lot of the people who left are probably using third party apps and wont have access to reddit after they lose API access. We will really see the extent of this in July?

Yeah true, in July we‘ll see some interesting movement in this battle. I‘m expecting people to come here and I want to have content ready for them, so I‘m going to focus on growing this now. I pilfered some memes from one of my subs and making an effort for the first time to not just comment, but post too.

I just think that most of the people complaining probably don't want to mod themselve. As long as reddit has no way to replace most of the mods and as long as the mods keep up their protest reddit will only be semi-functional.
