One of the likely motives: Taking out a free competing system so your own, paid/"ad-supported"/"spyware-supported" SaaS service for downloading videos gets more exposure. It's astonishing how many scam sites operate with the "download a video from anywhere after installing my 'downloader app'" premise.
That being said, I do think reddit admins backpedaling on something that blew up in their faces to be a much more likely explanation.

Given the linked takedown notice, I'd be surprised. I can't imagine phrases like "If you failed to pay the compensation will face strict verdict from USA Jurist section." and "Then, We hardly advised to takedown the mentioned services also." would be in an official request from Reddit (claiming "1 Million American Dollars" also sounds a little odd).
