Yeah, I started on lemmy two weeks ago or whenever reddit confirmed they were killing third party apps, and I've been perfectly comfortable here, haven't used Reddit since.
I doubt Reddit will care that I've gone, and I doubt any of this user action will change their intent since their plans are all about generating revenue and - of course - we were the product not the customer.
I think the tone of the other site will change, more than it already has.
And the audience changing will be part of that.
A lot of the old-time members joined when there was a strong "internet freedom" ethos, and may well have migrated away.
There will still be plenty of people there, and quite possibly those people are more profitable (less chance of running adblockers, more likely to click sponsored posts)
I don't understand how people use the internet without an ad blocker, especially on mobile, every site is just pure cancer
