I’ve been seeing a lot of angst and emotion on the Reddit migration, which results in either defeatism or blind optimism. In the end, it probably doesn’t matter, but I wanted to do more fact-based research into the subject.
I put my findings and my analysis into what it would actually take to kill Reddit, based on the deaths of Digg and MySpace. tl;dr it’s a lot less dramatic than most people would think.
I get that but I think it will settle. The sub reddits were something that happened over time and its natural that people might search for a similarly named community here. I suspect many will die off due to lack of activity but what’s left is a good starting point for organic growth.
