What do you mean? How can this end poorly? Most people browsing Reddit are addicted with no viable substitutes. Breaking their addiction through continued blackouts would end badly. Replacing some mods no user cares about will hardly have an impact.
Lets be realistic.

#6Sounds good, they should ban the moderators that are ruining the communities.

#7Another day and another nail in another awesome online community that has terrible leadership. Where will the communities move to? What new areas of the Internet will be created?

1. Replace the protesting mods with new ones who don’t care about 3rd party apps
2. Continue making Reddit more addictive and user-hostile, attracting casual browsers and alienating super users (who they don’t care about anyway)
3. Cash checks from advertisers and VCs who like the new strategy
4. IPO
5. Eventually lose relevance and get replaced by the next fledgling community forum site before that, too, gets hollowed out by VC money

They remove the moderators and replace them with different moderator, then hope that people don’t care and stay on the site like what happened with Twitter. It could happen, the main Reddit alternatives seem to be actively trying to keep most users out of the site with archaic interfaces and site owner/moderator drama

Some small percentage of Reddit mods and users quit in disgust, some come back, and the rest of the normies hang around until it inevitably dies post-IPO.
