Reddit users continue their blackout protest against the platform's new pricing plan, which will force several popular third-party apps to shut down or pay up starting July 1. While some subreddits have reopened, moderators of r/aww, r/videos, and r/music have kept their forums closed, holding out for more movement from Reddit's executives.
Over 300 other subreddits are still private, and moderators are polling their users to gauge interest before joining the indefinite shutdowns. CEO Steve Huffman's leaked memo, which warned employees not to sport a Reddit logo in public, has been criticized for "trivializing" the concerns of moderators and volunteers who maintain much of the platform.

300? The tracking site is still showing 5k.
It does say “over 300” so I guess technically correct, if misleading
‘More than 12 subreddits are still dark’
I think the 300 is coming from those who pledged to stay dark. Some might have stayed dark without explicitly repledging.
