Digg still exists as of today. The lack of moderators and content creators will probably lead to a bot / meme / political agenda factory.

To be fair, a lot of Reddit was starting to turn into that anyway. Not the more niche subs, but many of the bigger ones had been going in that direction for a while now.

Yes, r/all felt like bots responding to bots lately. Multiple times people "steal someone's comment". Niche subreddits are definitely not that though
