How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit? (feddiverse.org)

I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.

In the three or so days I've been using it it's expanded noticeably, and I'd say it's on the verge of being big enough already. Once it rounds that tipping point it has a decent chance of becoming sustainable on its own.
