I do not work for Reddit. Maybe they have some press contact info on their page you could try? Or Twitter or something?

That was more of a rhetorical question.

Which one of these possibilities is more likely?

a) it was the incredibly rare event affecting most of the popular content on the page, which the host themselves state it was

b) it was something completely unrelated

I know which one I'd put money on!
