I mean, most of them were meant to be silly, but reddit was also around a shockingly long time for an internet community. Consider that Myspace was only around for three years before it started losing status. Reddit, by comparison, was a major site for a decade and is only now starting to drop. And the remindme bot has been around for most of that time. A bunch of those 'remind me in a few years' posts were actually tripped.
You realize reddit hasn't died and still has millions of users?
Most of those millions of users are largely irrelevant, as they don't create content nor moderate. It's akin to how Facebook can say they have millions of users, but nobody is actually using it anymore.
Of course, but cracks are starting to show. My point was that this is an absurdly long time for something like reddit to be around at all, so the remindmebot comments that were set for years out weren't as out there as the guy above me seemed to think. Hell, reddit share holders seem to be upset with what's going on, so there are decent odds they'll revert the changes and we'll be back there in a year.

Not that I don't believe this, seems plausible to me⎯but would you happen to have a source for that.

Hate to say this but I'm still clinging on to Reddit for some of the niche subs, but hopefully they'll spring up here.
