That's amazing.
Are these 60% of all subreddits or 60% of the subreddits that made the claim that they'd be going dark?
60% of the ones that made the claim. There are millions of subreddits.
The latter. Still pretty significant, mind you, with some really heavyweight subs still staying closed.

Damn that's still a lot more than I thought. Hopefully it sends a message and advertisers and investors start getting annoyed and put pressure on Reddit
actually, why care. i am fine here. the community is way nicer and everything is new and evolving.
60% of those subreddits that made the claim. The blackout is now on its 3rd day and many big ones (e.g. r/apple, r/formula1) are staying dark indefinitely.
I think it will be worse when RIF and Appolo stop working.
+bot moderators.
well I got permabanned for shitting on spez and awkwardtheturtle so this is good to see. Fuck awkwardtheturtle btw.
Same, I just hope development picks up to match the traffic.
i have faith it will
just stick with it and i bet this place is practically unrecognizable soon. lots of smart people trying to grapple with all this
Here is the website where you can see recent blackout activity and the graphs.
Just pointing out on your first edit - There are millions of subs, but the vast majority of those are empty/inactive. We only care about the large/active ones anyway.
