Reddit died in the early 2010’s.

The internet did in general. It's all corporate and full of attention whoring influencer/steamer/YouTube crap. It's all about money and self promotion instead of hobbyists making cool things for the fun of it.

I will continue to argue that the internet peaked with Twitch Plays Pokemon.
Probably the last truly organic 'internet culture' phenomenon to come around. Some things were already going downhill by then, but I think overall, the internet hit its peak and has been all on the decline since

I would argue that Reddit was reborn circa August 2010 with the Digg exodus, but (as you can tell from my account creation date) I'm a little biased. It definitely started to die over the past 5 years or so though.
