>Zoom out.
But zoom out further (1 year) and see how the dip is barely noticeable after a very controversial update.
Zoom out even further (3 years) and you'll see how there have been some dips before, despite a huge trend in the long term. (I'm not talking about New Year's here.)

I do think that there's a ~10% dip of players right now, but it's only been, what, a bit more than a week? Why would you extrapolate a trend from just the week, but ignore the bigger picture? The week could fall into the time period that protesters are willing to abstain and try out alternatives. 
Based on the numbers having grown since the (much lesser) backlash after the introduction of VRC+, I am guessing that the numbers will have normalized in a few months and then have further grown.
