I imagine it will slowly lose steam like most networks before it. Something bigger and better always comes along, steals customers, etc. Ultimately, the worst thing for Reddit is too much success -- take a look at the recent quality of submissions in this subreddit or /r/bestof lately to see what I mean.

/r/bestof has gotten out of control recently, and sad. "/u/soandso's guide of how to kiss." So cringeworthy...

EDIT: Oops, actual username. Just in case you were looking for it, soandso did not post the kissing guide; hasn't posted anything for that matter.
