There could be if we see a series of catastrophic collapses of major subreddits, but my gut feeling is that that’s not how it’ll play out. Instead, I think we’ll see Reddit kick out the activist mods and things superficially go back to “normal”.
It’ll just be a generally degraded experience.
Waves occur when there’s a big splash. Twitter waves happened every time Elon did an Elon thing, for instance. But sustained and persistent movement as people reach their limit with Reddit’s decline in quality seems more like what’ll happen here.
