I am going to quote a wise saying I said on New Digg : “An empty Subreddit has been abandoned, a full subreddit will be abandoned”
I mentioned this in other threads, but my prediction is that Reddit will neither suddenly crash nor stay alive “just fine”. It’ll slowly go downhill.
In other words, Reddit will turn into Digg.
Very basic summary: when they changed their privacy policy to include telemetry, everyone forked it.
Example: audacity
Sooner or later, they will do something drastic(I will count on that). It already looks so much like New Digg.
