Oh, that's a fascinating question. My prediction is one of two things will happen: 1) His prediction will come true 2) The mods who set these subreddits private will discover that private is way more palatable, enjoyable, and easy to manage than public and will leave it there. ... at which point, either new subreddits come along to pick up the public (with the former subreddits slowly collapsing into an elite or old-guard) or Reddit will drift into irrelevance, replaced by some other public gathering location.
