I don't think people like or trust reddit's current CEO, Ellen Pao, that has a lot to do with it.
Users also don't like the way reddit handled #GamerGate, lots of censorship and abuses of power. A movement of distrust and interest in a potential exodus has been brewing in subs like /r/kotakuinaction for a while now.
Subreddits like ShitRedditSays have been given unfair immunity from all the shadowbans and censorship. This is another thorn in reddits' side... there are clearly double standards being applied, and reddit appears to be run by many "Social Justice Warrior" types.
Reddit is on a VERY slippery slope. sites like http://voat.co/[1] have cloned reddits functionality. It hasn't been enough to convince people to switch. But I feel like if an shiny new idea comes along, not just a clone, all its going to take is one more misstep and I think people will jump ship to a new site. It happened to DIGG, it WILL happen to reddit. IMO its a matter of 'when?' not 'if'.
There's nothing here!
