As I understand it, part of the reddit protest once the blackouts were enforced over was posting and mass upvoting pictures of sexy John Oliver so the front page is filled with garbage.
Iirc there was no reason given, the mods just put it in the pole on R/pics without context.
Speculation: maybe they wanted someone to dig into this and cover it thoroughly, and that is a surefire way to get John Oliver’s attention. And they got his attention - he tweeted his approval and sent more pictures to be incorporated.

I should also add that the writer’s of his show are currently on strike so it might be a while until he comes back again.
