I'm not sure if I buy this. /r/videos was the first sub to go dark early and hasn't been brought back. If the admin were really going in and forcing subs to open you'd think they'd start with the sub that started everything and actually got coverage. Not some random subs.
If I were Reddit, I'd first target subs who aren't able to fight back well. Then, after I've proved that I'm serious and not bluffing, I'll go after bigger subs. This is why many subs are allowing submissions again. In their sticky posts, they often mention that Reddit isn't bluffing.
