This assumes that the traffic doesn't just spike right back up after it goes down.
eg. Facebook may have a few minutes of $0 rev, followed by a few minutes of $44K per minute rev.
Also, having a larger concentration of users online at a given time can lead to increased rev. because there are more new stories for people to look at.

If you assume half fall obsessive users and half fall into the non-obsessive users for that min, even $11k a min is a very large impact. If it was an ordering system, I would expect a higher rate of recovery simply because of a service/good that was not purchased. Passive ad display is primarily driven by views and I wouldn't expect views to time shift at a high rate.
