Long term it will be harder to keep people around if the quality content is somewhere else. At this point, it's probably too early for most people to be interested in joining this space, but if over time this is where the content is, then more people will switch. Otoh, repost bots will keep things looking alive, so casual lurkers might not even notice. But if someone is just worried about quarterly bonuses, so what if they website dies a slow death over the next couple years?
Now its well established, like facebook, i think it'll just settle to a rump of users who want the convenience of downloading an app and just getting straight on.
It's not like reddit's main characteristic was quality if the first place, it was the massive size and momentum that made it the de facto place to go to if you need to find a community or any info. It is definitely not going to die, especially if it's just the users rioting and not the actual content creators that add OC to reddit. I'm just hoping this whole thing is enough of a kick to get alternatives like kbin and lemmy started, reddit doesn't have to be gone for us to have a nice community here alongside it, it's just a question of whether we have enough people to make it so.
