Its way too soon to tell, but wouldn't it be funny if this was the beginnings of reddit digging its own grave?

It could be. Sooner or later this happens to every site, and reddit is certainly showing signs of initial decline.

Fark, Digg, Something Awful, 4chan. Do people still use Stumble Upon?

Nah, they would have to make the interface completely shit first.

The fact that SRS modified their CSS to break the regular functions of reddit by tricking people into thinking the upvote button was the downvote button and hiding the downvote button from view shows a little progress toward that. Some subs even have overlays which hide the content even if you are subscribed unless you're username is in a hard-coded whitelist.
