Honestly at 1:1 odds I’d probably have taken that bet (betting that Reddit would fail first). I’ve loved Reddit, but it has always been more unstable simply because it has more users and relies on outside funding.

And to be fair, Reddit will probably continue to exist. It’ll just be an empty shell of a site. The big problem with online spaces is that when people get fed up and leave, the only people who have a voice on that site are the ones who didn’t leave. Within a year, I imagine the prevailing opinion among “Redditors” will be that this protest/exodus was stupid and accomplished nothing. Because everyone who disagrees with that viewpoint will have left.
