I don't think we'll see a reddit replacement as they're all subject to the same dilemma of increased userbase equals increased attention from shills. I suspect that those with valuable knowledge will form smaller communities in the vein of forums of old and the rest will be left with meme boards. Torrent communities seem a good example of this in practice.

I think we will, but a reddit replacement can't really be for everyone who used to be on reddit. Some just don't use controversial groups, others agree with the assholes from AHS who have led the charge to ruin reddit. We will need to blacklist the AHS people, at least from moderating.
