The protest will be temporary for some subreddits, but indefinite for others. I don’t think that Reddit Inc. will accept the demands; instead it might force the subreddits to open again.

But in the medium- or the long-term, Reddit is over. I don’t think that the platform will recover from that. Even the ones left behind will be less eager to contribute with it, so there’ll be less content, so less encouragement to browse it, thus less content, in a downwards spiral.
