From this article:

The negative impacts on Reddit’s daily traffic and average time spent have improved, according to more recent statistics, indicating that the initial downturn was temporary.

The decrease in traffic was during the 2 day blackout, but now things are mostly back to normal. Realistically, any sustained downturn will be more gradual as quality decreases and people turn elsewhere. We might also see a bump when 3rd party apps are shut down.
