This may not be a bold prediction, but I imagine that more and more fake users will continue to exist on reddit. No action will be taken to remove bots that are used by governments, marketers, researchers, and soon script kiddies. Reddit employees will know that this is a massive problem, but the business will not want to do anything to stop user growth and jeopardize the value of their platform and its size. Most real people won't know how frequently they are talking to bots, and conversations will be drawn down into the gutter. Within 5 years, 50% of all posts and users will be bots.

who cares about reddit?
It's not a problem
Yes, but that will change in a few years. AI is advancing fast.
Possibly, if the API is working by then. We'll see if the bots make better posts than the humans.
