Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

    True, but I agree with lemillionsock’s core point. Nothing short of Reddit pulling the plug on the servers will cause 430 million monthly active users to shift in any short time-frame. However, what is likely to happen is a sharp decline in quality as the core content contributors move on, then a slow gradual decline as the remaining users go “Where’d all the content go?”.

      @Barbarian that’s my core point! Lemonsocks posted “reddit is too big to fail / reddit will burn on” but I think this is probably the beginning of a slow death.
