Do not attribute to malice what can easily be explained by idiocy. It is entirely plausible that their algorithm couldn't handle the most popular subreddits going dark all at once. They likely hard-relegated so many other subs that would appear on r/popular or r/all to lower priority and thus when the higher priority subs disappeared, it couldn't change priorities and cause the crash.

This is absolutely the most likely scenario.
