Over time yes, but then again those most likely to leave have already done so. At this point I don't expect anymore large exoduses from it, but even if there were I'm not so sure that they would come here.

Conservatives would not feel welcomed in the slightest (nor should they, hey-oh!:-), normies would not feel comfortable due to the heavy need to block every damn thing here just to survive it, and especially the people who think they are leftists (as I once naively thought, with zero evidence I should add!:-P who wants to bother actually looking up definitions of terms? especially if everyone around you is a conservative and thus it makes no functional difference) will find themselves most likely to become dogpiled onto by the people most ah... "eager" to look down upon their fellow human (and some as we so recently and unfortunately discussed go so far as to tell others to kill themselves - highly inappropriate language, especially coming from an instance admin).

So even if some were to leave, where would they go? Twitter is dead, having been eaten from the inside by X and cancelled, then necro-birthed into its current undead existence. And Facebook... just... no. Threads then? Maybe in a few years but either way it's not comfortable and familiar like Reddit is. So even if people left Reddit, I would expect them to go crawling right back into it, maybe just change their subs or some such. Especially when they roll out subscription model to avoid (some of) the ads, though it's too soon still as they get people used to them slowly but surely... just like a frog in a pot being cooked slowly (except that's a false story, bc irl the frog actually does have enough sense to jump out!).

Or maybe they'll simply touch grass, until they can't stand that anymore?:-) Playing games rather than talking with people can be a real distraction from the grittiness of life - and then there's Discord servers that so long as you only want a singular specific game, actually do offer a convenient method to discuss such a focused topic.

So "less profitable", I guess we'll see. Probably somewhat less, but substantially so? That I dunno.
