Reddit had no monetary cost.
It's much easier to stick to a boycott when it requires a layer of active acceptance and payment to acquiesce.
Reddit is just... there. A query on basically any search engine is going to serve you up reddit links, and clicking one of them costs you nothing.* Even you don't have to commit to the decision there's far less resistance to backsliding.
