Engaging on the platform and even constantly talking about the platform is a great sign of it’s lasting influence.
You do realize you’re on a sub dedicated to reddit, right? It’s hypocritical if you’re telling users to not engage yet stay in a sub that talks about the site.
Also, this is wrong. Advertisers do care about the traffic, but they also care about stability and how their brands will be perceived. This is why nsfw reddits don’t advertise. Now put yourself in the shoes of an advertiser: there’s a lot of traffic on reddit but there’s a lot of hate and vitriol, with the threat of users leaving and just a lot of bots propping the communities up. Would you spend money to advertise on that site when there are literally other, maybe even bigger, sites available to you without all the BS? I mean, you might. But you’ve probably made tons of better business decisions than that.
