I think this is the point that will be a negative for the remaining users AND something that Reddit doesn't care about. Good quality content will slowly stop going there.... but the repost bots and other shit reposts will continue, allowing people to continue to consume content. Which is the real reason Reddit is doing all of this. 3rd party apps allow their users to bypass advertisers, which have noticed or complained and Reddit has to squash it.
