Leading up to the blackout, there were multiple threads on Reddit asking for alternatives to visit instead.

None of those threads received any non-joke replies.

The only thing that will make Reddit change course is serious competition. Probably not even that, since as long as the exodus happens after the IPO, it's the public that will be left holding the bag and not the investors.

Only the smallest number of users really, truly care about any of this.

The vast majority, 99%+ just use the site casually and don't follow any of this drama. They will use the site regardless of what goes on.

Even among those who are disgruntled, many of them will just come back to Reddit anyways, because it's large enough that it has a huge chunk of content that those alternative simply don't have.
