    A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue.

    My hypothesis is that it’s probably because so much of Reddit posting is automated by their own bot network now that they DDOS’d themselves trying to auto-post to subs that are suddenly locked. Like they didn’t even bother tracking which subs would be blacking out and like…write exceptions to their post schedule.
