I really hope it drops a lot, but it probably won't :/

I honestly don't care what happens to Reddit. I've found something new to occupy my time. If Reddit stays, goes, prospers, flounders, or whatever, couldn't mean less to me. At the end of the day, it's just a fancier bulletin board. Which have existed for 25+ years at this point. Look at Lemmy or other instances of the fediverse for example, it was able to quickly and effectively pick up the people flocking, and the experience is largely the exact same thing. It's a little buggier, but it's early days at this volume. And it doesn't come with any of the bullshit, you don't like your experience for example, you can quickly find another instance and carry on.

Sure, now that I can't have a good app I don't care about reddit either, but if the content is on there people will still find value in it

That's fine though, since the mods and frequent posters are likely to be pissed off, so the website will get much worse. It's an opportunity for us.

Yeah, that's for sure, but how large will the impact be?
