Maybe people are just tired of AskReddit, since people just repost the same questions and answers over and over. (I got "top comment of the day" for an original comment on AskReddit once. It's since been reposted a number of times, and has also been the top comment of the day when posted by someone else!)<p>If you look at the numbers for The_Donald, I think you'll find the traffic numbers pretty good. Their brigading may have even changed the outcome of the election!
My sense is that the US election has been a major source of traffic for Reddit (and Facebook, Twitter, etc). It will be interesting to see what happens after tonight.
Unique's are certainly down, but the altogether views are hard to tell. Moreover, know that November hasn't ended which is why the bin is so low there.
