Just because it will continue to exist doesn't mean it's not going anywhere... it just means it's not disappearing entirely.
Digg and Myspace still exist, but they have long since been overshadowed by their successors.
Which, of course, doesn't necessarily mean that reddit will simply fade into obscurity. The internet landscape is a much less differentiated now than it was back when those sites faded into the background. It's much harder to find alternative sites and communities that will thrive and grow like reddit did. Especially since reddit has existed for almost twenty years, and dominated for at least half that.
We don't know what will happen going forward, all we can do is guess... and hope.
