Realistically Reddit will survive, but it will be a zombie of its former self, kind of similar to how Digg is these days. Let's just hope it kills their valuation and /u/spez has to answer for it.

I really hope it survives, only because I want to preserve and archive all of it's content. Sure, there's a lot of duplicate data and links to other places, but there's also a lot of unique things there. If it dies before it can be properly archived we would lose most of it, with only internet archive keeping some. That would be sad.

I think that it's been fairly well archived prior to July 1st. Now that API access is blocked, further backing up becomes harder.

There are some off sites reddit archives, given enough time, there will be a way to find data without visiting reddit.

So you read reddit specifically through the way back at all times, so it'll archive as you go?
