MODERATORS
Am I the only one who thinks that having only a 7% dip in visits and a 16% reduction in time spent on site is really unusual when over 99% of the site was dark for 48 hours? To me, that suggests that something fucky is going on with the count of real users vs bots on the site.

Based on the numbers in this post it's fair to assume reddit is 90% bots.
And I would really not be surprised, it was so much repeating same ideas that it was not possible to come from different people.
Nice try, monobot glares suspiciously
