"The blackout didn't affect us at all."
"If you don't unblackout we're going to start removing moderators and taking over subreddits."
I think, maybe, the blackout hurt them. If it goes on for longer then ad buyers will shift their money to other platforms.
My guess is that this was the plan all along - move fast so mods are forced to pick a side and sadly I think many will stick with reddit.
