He even claims that around a thousand subreddits went dark. It was 8,000. Hundreds are already pledging to stay dark indefinitely, including huge ones like r/aww and r/videos.
I think he's just making it clear that only those with many, many users matter to him, because individuals generate little value for him. He probably only counted the most popular subreddits as worth noticing.
I wouldn't be surprised to see sockpuppet accounts starting / running some kind of "r/videosnew" and "r/awwnew" if they stay offline for a longer period of time
spez will probably just instate new puppet mods and forcefully reopen them.
