Just from casually checking traffic stats on various websites it doesn’t seem to have changed much, though I have no idea how accurate those sites are. This is more likely just Spez copying Elon’s dumb ideas in an effort to increase monetization
I can only assume that the issue is that they’re trying to reduce the number of calls to the original instance. If you’re just scrolling by, you only see the post that’s cached on your own server, and it doesn’t communicate with the original instance until you open the post. Making it so that every time some scrolls by a post it contacts the original instance sounds like it massively increases the amount of traffic to the original instance which goes against the idea of software that supports smaller, self or community hosted servers.
