An update to increase the accuracy of subreddit traffic pages

Happy Friday, mods!

I’m wearing my admin hat today to let you know we made a slight change in the way we’re aggregating pageviews on your subreddit and profile traffic pages (you can read more about the previous update to these aggregates here).

In short, most subreddits will see a slight increase in counts of unique viewers, and a less-slight increase in pageviews. In rare cases, the count of unique users/pageviewsmight decrease, but that shouldn't be too common. The metrics presented include counting across all our first-party platforms (legacy web, the redesign, the official Android and iOS apps, and mobile web).

This change only affects subreddit and profile traffic pages; there are no changes to post view counts, ad views, etc.

I’ll stick around in the comments to shitpost answer questions if you have any; otherwise, enjoy your weekend!

edit: looks like this change might break today's traffic stats though . . . that wasn't intentional

edit2: fixed!
