Using Occam's Razor, I'd bet on the last option.

It could be that their infrastructure is set up to optimize showing data on the typically most popular subreddits.
Or they took it offline to "hide" all the blacked out subreddits. Some had images about the third party apps as their only post, which was on the front page. By going offline it makes it seem like more of a technical issue rather than a protest.

@nodsocket It's a special de-blackoutisation operation through their own blackout.
