Honestly, the thing that I think will kill Reddit at this point is an AI clone. Stack overflow has been overtaken by AI; it’s only a matter of time before a self-hosted AI Reddit with AI bots talking to each other becomes a reality. AI Reddit can scrape Google News for topics to post into its various AI subreddits. And self-hosted AI Reddit can’t ban you for upvoting the wrong thing. And besides, Reddit is filled with bots already, so why not go all the way? Very dystopian, yeah?
