    Honestly, I’m a very active redditor with over 1000h on reddit and I will leave. However, I don’t think it will make such a major impact on the overall reddit experience when 3% are leaving. Even if they belong to the most active members on reddit. Sure we’ll definitely see a drop in users on the 1.7, but I don’t think it will have such a huge impact on the revenue.

    I’m really hoping it does, but even then the question remains on how platforms like Lemmy or Kbin make money. They don’t have any ads and Lemmy and Kbin currently have about as many members as a large subreddit.

    I was here before Lemmy blew up and I can say it definitely improved and it improved fast but well have to see how many actually stay here and stay active

      I think you are forgetting one thing: Reddit is the content, not the servers. If the most active members start to flee the rest will follow because Reddit won’t have content anymore. Or at least not the content that drags people and makes them stay.
