Call me cynical but I’m surprised how widespread the opinion is that Reddit is on a death spiral. It might end up being another Digg but I can’t help but feel like this is going to be a blip and that Reddit will by and large continue just fine.
If anything I think this is the moment that Reddit finally separates from the “geeky” crowd that originally birthed it (I remember the days when Reddit was the nerdier alternative to Digg!) I don’t think that community has been the lifeblood of Reddit for a long time, though.
