For me, Reddit died long before the whole ordeal of the API controversy. More and more traffic was due to bots, and lately I started to receive a lot of spam from porn bots there. There's not a lot of incentive on part of Reddit to remove them, since bot activity is still activity they can present to investors.
Don't get me wrong, not all bots are bad, but spambots are universally harmful.
