Probably because the top 1% of the top 1000 subs accounts for the majority of the posts and comments. The corporate and/or state backed propaganda subs like news, worldnews, politics, movies, etc are still up and running.
The blackout is probably driving people to these available subs rather than forcing users to leave reddit altogether. Think about it, if you are a reddit addict, are you going to leave because a few subreddits went private? Of course not, you'll simply go to other subreddits.
