Answer: Many subreddits went private or restricted in protest of Reddit's changes to their API pricing. Reddit has since been threatening the mods of these subs with forcible removal and reopening if they do not reopen their subs themselves. To maliciously comply, many subs have taken to severely restricting their content (ie only allowing posts about John Oliver) or to changing their content to be NSFW. NSFW subreddits cannot be used by reddit to populate r/popular (the default homepage) and cannot be used to place ads. Edit: it's also worth noting that Reddit has since made threatening comments about setting subreddits to NSFW as well, so you may see other strange changes in the future. Yeah some are just downright weird now. I went on r/Wellthatsucks and it's about vacuum cleaners now and the only thing you can reply with without getting your post removed is "Wellthatsucks"Yeah some are just downright weird now.

For those curious about the ongoing developments regarding the Reddit API protests... It appears that Reddit is pressuring subreddits to either reopen, or it will replace the moderators. As a result, it is recommended to engage in alternative forms of protest.
