Nah, the blackouts definitely hurt Reddit. Deleted posts are the norm now. This was not the case before the API changes.

Fair point, I have myself noticed a lot more deleted posts. I doubt their bottom line has hurt much though.

Deleted and overwritten posts were a thing for long before the api change.

"A thing" is substantially different from what they claimed, that it's now the norm.

Not in my experience.

yes, but they are every other post you find on google now.

i certainly didn't help; i used shreddit to overwrite then delete my posts.
