Wish I knew. The transparent thing to do would be to provide full documentation and rationale for all the subs that were banned today.
Instead, of the 2000 subs that were banned, we got the full names of ten of them.
Edit: grammar/typo fix

Because when a sub is banned a lot of users will create a new subreddit for all the users, and it grows from there. I *believe* the intention is not giving subreddits that wouldn’t normally have attention any new interest, fueling the potential (and likely) new ones.

Because the subreddits weren't actually as bad as they're telling you.
