Can Reddit survive as its volunteer workforce close down subreddits and walk away from the site in protest at the management's new policies?

I think Reddit will be fine from the exterior. IPO may not go so well. But what really matters is the soul of Reddit died long ago.

This, a lot of the people who remained on reddit don't seem to understand that this wasn't a single incident, it was the culmination of years of smaller problems. I found it easy to leave because these newfound spaces are much more like the reddit I remember in 2012.
I don't really care either way if reddit stays or goes. I'll be on kbin and lemmy regardless.
