If they survive IPO and the shits storm that will bring, It will be the porn ban. We all know someone with a big wallet is going to push the change eventually.

I think the new preferential treatment in Googles algo will cancel out people leaving due to content getting stale.

This is honestly what I expect to happen. Once the porn is banned, people will stop going there. It has a lot of info for obscure communities and tech communities, but eventually that will start to move to other places.

So, I guess it will slowly die out.
