If the Info Explosion problem that the Internet produced gets solved some other way.
Sure it will - asymptotically.
But it took 18 years to grow Reddit. Even if a solid alternative emerges in a fraction of that time -- that's still a multi-year gap. Plus we're at a significant knowledge deficit (for us lowly humans, never mind LLMs) if Reddit's archives don't re-emerge sometime soon.
(Google search has been braindead for some time now -- so we can leave that source out of the equation).
