We have not seen any significant revenue impact so far and we will continue to monitor.

There’s your answer on how it’s affecting reddit. May be it’s spez just bluffing, but I hope this is a wake up call for the two day blackout subs and they do it indefinitely.

    Idk how this is possible either, almost every sub I subscribe to is black, why would that not impact rev?

    Two days isn't significant enough to register as a real change. Especially since I assume most advertisers have ongoing contracts based on longer periods.

    If you want to see an actual revenue impact, the blackout has to go long enough that advertisers have time to start scaling back or even withdrawing from the platform.

    Well, considering the phone calls with the apollo dev, his trustworthiness is already shot. I would be very surprised if this didn't affect revenue seeing how there's thousands of people not buying awards now. That's not even getting into ad views.
