You're right. Another aspect is that the mods/users want to take power back from Reddit's management. This is a way to do it. I think users and mods want Reddit's management to know that they can't just abuse the platform anyway they want. I also think that's some mob mentality going on right now. Users and mods want to be apart of some kind of protest. It's exciting. It makes people feel like they're doing something good. Remember those net neutrality protests? Well, no one cares about it anymore.
