Hmmm...I wish that were true. But I sincerely doubt reddit will fail entirely. It's going to pick itself up after this, no question. What matters is how valuable the site that remains will be when the dust settles.

Without the power user base and a good deal of the mods, when it's going to lose a good deal of its value. It will exist, sure. But I really don't think it's going to resemble what it was.

It's good news for spez, though. Just looking at the comments in a lot of posts recently, it definitely looks like the sycophants and boot lickers that feel the need to defend a tech company that made money for years off the back of misinformation and hate are the predominant voice. Spez may actually going back to reading comments again (I guarantee the guy hasn't actually been reading them for years).

I love the fact that you've pointed this out. EVERYTHING can fail. That's humanity in a nutshell, and that's how it's supposed to be...
