I get the feeling the new metric will be the loss of all the mod tools and accessibility for users. Difficulty moderating when the 3rd party apps die, combined with the inconveniences and frustration with the app and site may actually be a catalyst. Subreddits may be back now (not surprised) but I'm interested in seeing what happens over next month after changes. It really may be reddit shooting itself in the foot and genuinely believing loss of users is the publics fault.

2 day blackout really never looked like anything more than a warning
