I think so too. And I also think that they have more than 1 straw left, but each time it will be a bigger event than the previous. Reddit is a big beast and these are just minor flesh wounds.
You'll never get rid of a problem. Facebook is still around, and look at the trash that is spewed into feeds each second of the day. When I first heard about that AMA I thought "gee, you've not only stirred up the hornets nest, but you've knocked it to the ground and set it alight". Trying to hold a discussion to fix the problem might rebuild the nest, but you're going to have to build it through a very pissed off swarm of homeless hornets.
As I said to my partner last night, Reddit was perfectly fine a few months back. Sure there was bad stuff, but you didn't go to those subreddits if you didn't want to see/read that content. Now that they tried to "fix" it by forcibly removing the content, the content is everywhere and you can't go a day without seeing something that you wouldn't have seen a few months back.
"if there's another problem over at reddit" - more like when. This AMA I think will be the "thing" that will cause another split.

Unrelated, but thanks for your direct link to the review :)
