Since this nonsense started happening, their rankings are dropping. The entire month of June the front page was riddled with Ellen Pao hate posts. I'm surprised the admins even let them stay as long as they did because the average user has no idea about the politics of reddit, nor do they care, according to Alexa rankings.
This whole mess of drama is just scaring off new users that might be interested.
Reddit's future is not looking good. I'm looking forward to the alternatives and hope the folks running them are prepared for massive expansion. If anything, Snapzu should open its arms to these users and be ready. People are looking to jump ship. People desperately want an alternative right now (I'm one of them!)
I remember somebody bringing this up and I think it turned out to be something to do with Alexa and not reddit because ratings on other traffic sites were up.
Has any one even checked Reddit's Alexa Ranking?
