My money is on slow decline in content quality. It might not ever die per se, it might just become Craigslist or Digg.
This has already happened. Just the niche communities haven't migrated away yet.
That's my guess. They started going down hill when Advice Animals banned the Unpopular Opinion Puffin.
Today I learned Digg still exists.
I don't know the last time I was linked to it, but yes it still does. The fate of some of these things is to eventually transition to a living museum, if they don't die out for long enough. Like the Space Jam website.
