Sorry that you are getting downvoted you are exactly right. People can’t handle being wrong.

Show me one factual analysis that actually shows a decrease across the board? I’ve not seen one so far.

As a matter of fact it is. They test 1200 subreddits for drops on the specific dates. Unsurprisingly it finds subreddits by pure chance that dropped on these days. This is statistics 101 error. That’s why it got deleted.

To be clear four days later there is still zero evidence this is true.
