It's hard to read too much into today's numbers. Right now, people who didn't follow the API pricing saga (or just forgot the blackout started today, or wanted to log in anyway) are logging into reddit, getting shocked, and looking at the posts still available to them. It's still their morning reddit time so they comment in those posts or create some new ones. But they are less happy about it because the average quality of the first 30 posts they see went down, because it's the top 30 from a smaller pool. We'll see what happens on subsequent days.
