As much as the thought may be comforting, it might take a long time for the site to really go to shit, if it will ever. Most likely, not a lot would change
I think a lot will change but I agree with you for the site staying relevant for many more years. It will just not be as good as it once was (and I say that with a 14 years old reddit account). It has been slowly going down for a long time, now there is a quick mini downfall but business will continue as usual until thy’ve squished all the money they could get out of it. And then it dies.
This is a balanced take. Reddit probably is ok with new front page subs taking over. I guess newer users who don’t care about 3rd party apps will take over as core users.
Reddit showing its hand. The blackout obviously is having an impact. Once all the dedicated mods are gone the site will go to shit.

Lukewarm and probably accurate take. We’re looking at the beginning of a long, drawn out end.
