From the article you linked:
This was from before the whole shit fiesta actually happened.
Further in the article
That asset manager was also from Fidelity, who are the investors who keep writing off Reddit value.
Yes, we will not see affects from that until their next reporting quarter. But they haven’t just devalued by 7% overall. It’s quarterly reporting. Stay tuned to q3 to see if they think Reddit really screwed up.
Yes, and? That doesn't change the fact the article talks about numbers that came from before any of the protests happened.
Fidelity's devaluation (along with the increased overall desperation in SV venture capital) is a cause of the API changes and heavy handed suppression of the protests, not a result of them. It's an attempt to halt/reverse that slide by asserting control and taking concrete measures to better extract value from Reddit.
