Can you elaborate a little more? If I were an investor in reddit, my primary concern would be whether the blackout was actually impacting revenue. If the revenue is flat, then the blackout is just noise and things will return to normal soon.
Impact on revenue could take months, if not years, to materialize. Most redditors will probably stick around for the time being, but if content posters / moderators leave the ship, the site will eventually die.
If I were him, I’d be looking at account deletions (especially from mods), number of new posts/comments, etc.

Exactly. Ain’t no way you can get an accurate view from 2 day. Though I don’t think he really cares as long as it doesn’t affect the IPO.
Those are a great points, especially about the mods- they are a key piece of the future-of-reddit puzzle. Thank you!
I think he means that long term effects are the real concern, not the effects of two day revenue
