I stopped using reddit 10 years ago, it can burn for all I care. Stop trying to psychoanalyze people (badly.)
If admins lift the blackouts and people go back to using the subreddits, then obviously those people were not committed to not using reddit. This is simply common sense. The answer to this problem is for you to stop using reddit, then reddit's problems won't be your problems.
