I expect reddit to survive this because this isn't something that will stop people from visiting it. While they may originally go to reddit for information, they stay for the communities. It's pretty well established that no one there reads beyond the headline before heading to the comments section.
I feel the bigger threat to reddit is that many of the ways that people are introduced to it will be better served by AI-driven services. If people can find what they're looking for without ever visiting reddit, then they won't get involved in the communities, and the communities there slowly thin out.
Amusingly I see part of the reason for reddit's success is how poorly Google has become at finding information on the web. These days it seems that reddit is the go to place to find answers to a myriad of problems.
