Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?

Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

As a sidenote, I’ll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn’t use RiF anymore.

    Don’t underestimate lurkers. They play a big role by upvoting, downvoting and reporting inappropriate content. They are the invisible force that keeps a website healthy and sane.

      By definition lurkers don’t do any of that. A lurker literally just looks at stuff

      That user you described is still a contributor, you could perhaps call them a curator or something but they aren’t a lurker.
