I think user moderation is where the opening will be. Reddit as a whole is pretty heavy handed in banning anyone who says anything wrongthink, or worse, actively bans users who participate in subs they don't approve of.

You had Voat spin out but it had the same problem, with a vastly different opinion of what wrongthink was. It didn't last long.

I think the between that, the unpopular API changes, new Reddit that nobody asked for, and now paywalls, there is an opening. One challenge is that it's hard to actually make money from the idea, which I guess is why there haven't been a lot of entrants in the first place.
