Is there a reason why they're doing this? Blackout's not even political. They just want to be contrarian to everything.
Soort of. Despite being over a million subs for about a year now (maybe more or less, I forget), they try to push the narrative that they are complete Reddit outcasts and are treated unfavorably compared to other political subs. I wouldn't be surprised if they see this as their way of becoming the predominant political sub on the site now that Reddit is falling apart.
The entire conservative political philosophy is based on being a martyr. They better be careful, or they're gonna become the dog that caught the car, just like on Twitter.
