Reddit is in contradiction with its moderators, and its moderators are in contradiction with its users. It’s an unstable system that simply can’t survive forever.

I mean... maybe? The subs that didn't close down seem to be as active as ever. And so much of Reddit is faux-participation anyway, what with the amount of bot activity that's been there practically since day one.

If every single active user were to walk away from Reddit for a year, I wonder how much of the site would even change?
