This one will pass as they lose substantial number of users and contribute to the growing fidiverse.

However for them, it's not a big deal as the get the following benefits

  1. All undesirable users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives.
  2. The remaining users will be tame like the users of FB, Instagram. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but the new Sanitised Reddit will be more appealing to investors in an IPO even with less users.

Hopefully this is a turning point and leads to the development of The real Web 3.0, federated version of Web 1.0. (The Metaverse bullshit can no longer be called Web 3.0)

Yes, if the 10-15% using 3PA or old.reddit leave I think they are prepared to take that it and carry on. If even a fraction of that base moves over here I'd much rather use this

If that's what they are banking on, they are in for a rude surprise. I am part of the crowd that has never used anything apart from the new reddit web and reddit's official mobile app. Still I left for the fidiverse.

I reckon theres many more like me. Either way, it's good for the internet as a whole. We need atleast some part of the internet that's safe from corporate interests.
