We'll have to see what the long-term looks like. This was never going to be an instant death for reddit, but it absolutely could be the beginning of a slow decline into irrelevance. Digg never went offline, it just became useless

I hope so, but I somehow doubt it. Reddit has so many casual users who were never even aware of the existence of third party apps and consider the protests to be "pointless".
