I think the OP may have something there; Reddit knows that if T_D is shut down, there go 700k (the official figure) regular users/posters and their advertising revenue. The quarantine keeps T_D from overtly influencing the rest of Reddit (which they credit with affecting the election of 2016) while keeping the $$$ flowing in. That's my theory, anyway.
