Massive subreddit traffic drop in the last 7 days, am I the only one?

[RobinK1228]

Has anyone else noticed Reddit behaving very differently over the last week or so?

I manage several subreddits and I've been tracking traffic pretty closely. Over the last 7 days, I've seen a significant drop in traffic across multiple communities, even though posting frequency and content quality have remained roughly the same.

What's strange is that it doesn't just look like normal fluctuations. It feels like something changed on Reddit's side...

I've also noticed a lot more content removals and filtering lately, which makes me wonder if Reddit has adjusted something in its ranking, spam detection, or recommendation systems.

I'm curious if other subreddit owners, SEO people, or Reddit marketers are seeing the same thing.

Are your subreddits experiencing traffic declines as well over the last 7–10 days?

Or is this isolated to a few niches?

Would be interested to hear what you're seeing and whether you think Reddit changed something recently.

There has been as significant ban wave in the last few days. A lot of our accounts have been decimated. They are not just banned, they just got deleted that means reddit is try to show like "user deleted those accounts".

I am pretty sure there must be direct correlation for the traffic activity you are seeing.

Yes a lot of accounts on Reddit have been banned recently, I believe Reddit has tightened its control over the accounts.

Is the ban wave going to end, or is it going to be continuous? I have seen a massive banning of accounts too.

i would say Traffic can drop for many reasons sometimes changes in user activity, community engagement or platform variations.
