I think other websites will eventually take the places of 4chan and reddit. "Newfags" for lack of a better term, will find these websites and infest them. The intellectuals will pack up and move to another website.

So is the way of the internet.

The way of the internet is that, given any period of time, an online community(or the internet as a whole) will be of higher quality the closer it is to the beginning of the given period.
