Can Reddit survive as its volunteer workforce close down subreddits and walk away from the site in protest at the management's new policies?

    We can only hope.

    I want Reddit to bugger off as much as the next person, but I don’t think it’s going to die. Even Tumblr didn’t truly die.

      What do you consider dead? If relevant is the deciding factor then yeah, Tumblr, Digg, Yahoo are dead.

      The key being how much of reddit functioned off of their invisible workforce? How much of their app will still use after api useful ness has dried out.

      Give it till Nov

      It will take Reddit a long time to die but it’s completely possible to piss off the minority that keeps it going which will result it to effectively die.
