I think reddit survives but it will be at a diminished quality. I also will be pissed if it all blows over or the site even bounces back without anything to mend the relationship between the site and those it pushed away.

I can only speak to my personal experience and personally I feel the quality of the site had been going down all month. I realized at the end I only checked 2 subreddits a day and quickly got bored scrolling through r/all or the Frontpage significantly faster than I used to, and I’m someone who can definitely hyperfocus and scroll way too long. There will always be things to see on reddit and there will always be a community there, but after this month I’m genuinely not sure how the site can come together to make it what it once was. If I’m honest with myself, I know I’ll end up clicking on links online to reviews or how-to’s, but I don’t think I’ll feel good engaging with the site as I used to.
