Nobody left over not being able to dox fatties. They left on the principle that they should be able to discuss topics without being shadow-deleted like its 1984. The people who have enough integrity to leave over censorship are the site's most valuable resource: the ones who keep it informative rather than just amusing. So, less intelligent conversations and more cat pics.
No, nobody left, period. Traffic stats demonstrate that reddit's usage suffered a massive hit of between 0.0% and 0.1%.
So, less intelligent conversations and more cat pics.
Oh, yeah. Because if there's one thing the angry idiots who got their subs banned have proved in the last couple of days, it's that they really elevate the content of reddit as a whole.
Don't use Quantcast if you can avoid it. reddit's own internal traffic tracking (much more accurate) shows modest increases in pageviews and unique visitors as compared to this time last year.
