I have the opposite question, what trait of a pirate makes you think they would leave reddit?

Whether pirates have wanted or not if they pirated long enough they have experience lot of things being killed off. Torrent sites they relied on dying and disappearing for good like rarbg. Recent reddit causality being r/newyuzupiracy. Direct links being killed off like megaupload. Discord channels dedicated to piracy or jailbreaking being banned and killed off (why isn't stuff like matrix more common instead of hoping Discord ignores them?).
The constant search for new methods to piracy p2p, torrents, usenet, i2p, irc, discord bots, telegram bots, etc.
It's not an area that has stability so pushes people to constantly be searching and finding new ways to pirate. Being on centralized places has always been borrowed time. Piracy in the long run always ends up having to search for a new home, better places, better methods. It's a nomadic lifestyle in the digital space by the nature of it and the hostility towards pirates from those in power.
But, one thing that has remained a constant has been decentralization. With no better representation of that spirit than bittorrent. As long as a few people have it the source remains alive.
I'd expect a general understanding of the inherent weaknesses and drawbacks of centralised infrastructure.
Because people resent change.
just another paywall from hell. trains public to go elsewhere
Hey, they can stay on Reddit with their beloved memes, I don't really care.
I don't see that subreddit lasting long after this tbh. If this all to make the product (reddit's communities) look good to buyers, then I can see it being nuked.
We still have to wait and see what happens after July 1st.

Real question: does it matter?
