It seems that Reddit will go down like Digg did.

Unfortunately, I've been hearing this for like a decade and it doesn't seem to ever happen.
Digg.com’s implosion was so dramatic because Reddit was there to immediately start serving the same users just about the same thing. There are obviously plenty of other things Reddit users can do with their time, but there isn’t a monolith solution waiting in the wings to very closely replace Reddit with almost the exact same thing. Its destruction will be much more prolonged.
Exactly the same comments have been made about Twitter, and Twitter is still here.
More likely that people will simply forget in 3-4 weeks, like literally every other issue that can sort of blow over.
