I think the users that will be leaving reddit are worth 100 normal reddit users in terms of content value. Drain them and the rest will swirl down quickly.

This is an interesting point. I use free Apollo, and realized when I tried to post, that its a paid feature.

So you have to figure that all the revenue is largely from contributing users and the dynamics on social media go something like 5-10% of people post all the content. Also, i heard it has great tooling for mods as well.

We'll see how big of a blow this is but yeah, you're right, a lot of Apollo users are probably high value reddit users.

That’s an often overlooked factor. The mods that do all that free work for Reddit especially need good tools—which the official app is not.
