That’s less traffic, which is less ad money, which comprises the vast majority of their revenue.

and how many people do the same thing you do? they don't really care about 1% of dedicated users...

    ...you're joking, right? There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing.

    Is it going to kill reddit? Of course not. Are they "100% unaffected?" Of course not.

    except we are talking about USERS disappearing, not revenue. it is likely that revenue actually increased, because x+n (where n > 0) people paying more than zero generating more than zero is bigger number than x generating zero.

    the more technical helpful users are likely to do it, you think the vast majority of users give helpful comments?

    you are forgetting that reddit is not just coders and sysadmins.

    people writing comments about - i don't know - sneakers, might not care about the reddit drama at all. and all comments are helpful as AI training material - don't succumb to the biased idea that only what interests you is important or "helpful"
