The point of contention which is why I believe as above is that the standards of most people still on reddit are fairly low. Reddit has been going downhill for years, this much is known; it's only now, with this latest screw up, that I, (assumedly) you, and many others have decided to jump ship. I, personally, willfully ignored much of the enshittification of reddit, content that I could use third party tools and apps to make up for it's deficiencies; now that reddit is showing they don't care about us and are tearing down those tools, I'm gone.
But for many others, they don't care about any of the current goings on. Many do not even understand how the site actually works, confusing mods with admins as the same thing and not even getting that a sub could shut down (I was a mod, and saw many pieces of mod mail that amounted to "why can't I see posts here help"). Their standards for how bad things can get until they'll make a change in their browsing habits are surprisingly resilient.
