    Those numbers seem off IMO. I was over here already, but I went over there during the blackout and there simple wasn’t anything to read. The only subs that were up were the ones that I really didn’t read frequently anyway. During the blackout, actual human audience HAD to be far far lower.

      I’d like to think so too, but that is ignoring all of those people who have admitted to instinctively opening Reddit because it’s their habit. There were probably a lot of people who, whether meaning to or not, kept returning to Reddit despite already finding out there wasn’t anything they wanted to read during the blackout.
