From the article:

In response to Huffman’s comments, moderators are trying to find ways to make blackouts effective. Alternatively, some communities are also setting up servers on alternative sites like Lemmy and Kbin.

    No one was saying cost was not an option but it was a ludicrous cost

    Yes, the “fuck you price” as a vlogger recently called it. A price you put up if you actually don’t want to make business with someone, but can’t say that openly without losing face. So you put up a price no one in their right mind is willing to pay to get what you want (they leave), without technically excluding anyone, so you don’t lose face. Glad how this backfired.
