I honestly think reddit will be perfectly fine. Unfortunately...
There's a type of pervasive apathy that's skyrocketed over the last 6-8 years throughout the internet and society. There's just too much to care about. The fact is it's easier to complain about your CEO or Admins than it is to find or build an alternate source just re-enforces the apathetic response to injustices.
It doesn't effect me, I don't agree but I'm not buying a sub, I'm only active on small communities, etc. It's easier to find excuses than to try to move away from a behemoth of content.
I think 95%+ of users will probably fall into this group. I know I did for years!
I personally will check reddit for what's going on in the world once or twice a week and use it for information but my decade+ of activity was over the day spez lied about Apollo.
I'll probably look back into using RSS too. Reddit really has gotten toxic and it's just going to continue getting worse. I'm out for my own mental health and I hope others are too.
