I honestly don't think it's going to die, I think the user base is going to take a massive hit when people start migrating over but people are dumb and will continue to use the app because it's where everybody is. The large majority of them are lefties anyways, so I don't think they even care when subs with political differences get banned. It's censorship, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't care. It's only censorship when it starts to affect them, and as far as I'm aware that place is a safe haven for anyone wanting lefty echo chambers. To put it simply, 98% of Reddit is retarded. If you think like the rest and behave like the rest, you won't have an issue over there.

I like to think Reddit is just a pseudo-sophisticated version of the YouTube comment section. They're still retarded but because they use basic grammar and spelling it's sugar coated shit.

Digg is a shadow of its former self. Reddit is now too. It's not dying, it's dead.

It's not dead, though. Reddit is still the go-to when news aggregation and discussion come to mind. If Reddit is dead then whats replaced it? Because it certainly isn't Saidit, it's no way near as popular. People I know still use Reddit, and they simply don't care about the politics of the site so as long as they get their cute cat pics. The user base has changed but I wouldn't say it's dead. It's only dead in our eyes because we've seen it change.

^ Spot on. Only when they start banning cute cat pics and cute waifu pics is when we'll start seeing Reddit die.

What are the numbers or statistics that show this? Visitors diminishing? Alexa rankings?
