maybe I'll eat my words later but I doubt it'll be quite as big. I think a lot of people are underestimating just how little the average person cares, or knows to care. Been through the twitter migration, the reddit migration, and in both instances it wasn't really a migration, it was more like a few people split off the main group and found a nicer home for themselves. And honestly, I think that's enough.

Average person will follow the content. Eventually. As Reddit is overwhelmed with spam, scams, and porn, while mods attempt to mitigate with non-existing tools, average person will get sick of it and wonder where their communities went. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

I agree with you. For those who just want a distraction from life, they're probably not going to care about the quality of the content that much - they'll just keep on doom scrolling reddit for the next dopamine hit. I'm thinking idiocracy style.

Booting us 'freeloaders' off the API affects us, but it probably doesn't affect them very much.

I could be quite wrong if course.
