Unfortunately reddit , twitter etc will never die. There will always be a subset that will keep using the platform no matter what.
The only thing that can kill it is when company starts making huge loss without any user base but that’s a slow death until the said subset stops using it.

Yeah, however small the user base, they still have value. Even in a worst-case—Chapter 7—situation, somebody would buy the names and logos.
imagine this happens and then the Reddit codebase turns out to be too much work to maintain so it just becomes a Lemmy/Kbin/similar instance lol
They don’t need to die, they just need to become irrelevant and for the fediverse to take over.
Alternatively they could get bought by Google and be sunsetted within six months because the devs got bored.
