Ever clicked on a link and noticed that the URL ended in something like ?campaign=twitter or something? Advertisers regularly track which advertising campaign got a user to click on a link, and they'll also track what proportion of those users eventually lead to a sale. If Reddit eventually has no users and just bots, advertisers will quickly notice that ad spending on Reddit isn't producing profit and kill it.
