    I think reddit will linger for a very long time even as the quality goes down the toilet. There are millions of casuals on there just doomscrolling that don’t seem to mind the ads and the horrible official app/new website. It’s still interesting to follow the story as it unfolds, but I’m also slowly losing that interest as I continue to explore lemmy. We’ll all mostly forget about it at some point, and that will be a good day for us, regardless of what happens to reddit and it’s disengaged remnants of a user base.

      Of course it will, Digg is still around and so is Myspace. These sites rarely “die” in the sense of shutting down but just become a husk of its former self.

        Those of us who’ve been on the internet since the mid-90s remember how Digg fucked up. Apparently none of those people who remember what happened last time are around at the top of Reddit anymore.
