They admitted this years ago when Voat first published traffic logs from Cloudflare.
A Reddit admin first tried to play Voat's claimed traffic off as fake, saying they lie about their stats "too", only to have Atko/Put reply with screenshots of the actual metrics.

Adam Curry said it best "You can't monetize the net."
There is going to be restructuring of advertisement pricing for these platforms. I would not be surprised if lawsuits were to be filed of false claims of exposure. As this information is spread, the large technology platform will be forced to change.
