I couldn't be the only one who found 2 days to be a ridiculously low time as well.

It's long enough to show impact and short enough that reddit will catch flak for replacing the mod teams.

It also lines up with the media attention span. On day 5 "reddit lost users during the blackout" will be a better headline than "blackout still going on fyi".
