I'm not really surprised, I'd actually assume that sexy John Oliver and the other protests created a lot of additional traffic. People post like crazy and a lot of people want to see that, especially since it got some coverage on news sites. Add to that the big majority of people who do not care (remember that 80% of traffic was still reached) plus some who may have been sympathetic enough to join the two day protest but don't care enough to continue to stay away. It's really not surprising that we're back to normal numbers.
Thankfully this isn't the only impact people currently still make, so this isn't over. The real question now will be how else it might change Reddit.

That though process won't even cross their mind. More like "See? The reopened communities are very active and actually generate MORE clicks now. We were right to force them open!". Only if the new direction would produce less clicks or advertisers are bothered by it ("I wanted to advertise my camera in r/pics but the new direction makes it unprofitable") they might look into where that "sabotage" is coming from and care about it.
Ah, yes, they don't allow it because it muddles their data. Never forget that whatever rewards they give you aren't free, you sell your data to them for that reward. They want to know which age group or gender buys which products how often, so card sharing messes with their data because suddenly all the "young lady" purchases are on the card of an old man or whatever. It's actually not a huge problem if it happens once because they anyways need hundreds if not thousands of data points to learn anything from it (because they look at "average" purchases), but the cleaner the data set the easier it gets.
There were already trials where shops could predict if you are pregnant based on your purchases. How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did This card data is pure gold (if enough people participate), which is why stores love starting their own program to collect or join a big card provider who will share that data with them.
It's not perceived as sad because it's just something most people have no desire to do. Flags just aren't a super common decoration you see outside of store advertisements and official government buildings. "I should install a flag pole on my property" is already a rare thought in most places and a lot of people then rather put a flag about something that is special to them on there. In line with that thought, being German in Germany obviously isn't that special, so it's usually not your choice of "displaying something that is special to me" unless you have a right-wing mindset. You'll more often see football teams, maybe music bands and the more rare political issue here and there, like "stop nuclear power plants".
Thanks for the heads up!
Wobei ich mich frage, ob hier nicht einfach nur das Rate Limit getroffen wurde, weswegen die Anfragen nicht alle korrekt durch gegangen sind. Ich habe einige Beiträge gesehen, wo gewarnt wurde, dass nicht alle Tools das korrekt händeln.
Laut obigen Bild hatte der Nutzer überschrieben und gelöscht. Scheint also auch nicht zu helfen.
Golem spricht von 5x Einschaltknopf drücken, in OPs Artikel steht ja Stoßerkennung, T-Online spricht nur von einer neuen Funktion die vereinzelt verfügbar ist und der MDR gibt die Schuld dem Notrufknopf, der teils auf dem Entsperrbildschirm ist .
Oder anders gesagt: man scheint es gar nicht zu wissen bzw jeder Journalist interpretiert da etwas anderes hinein.
