    I hope so, but I somehow doubt it. Reddit has so many casual users who were never even aware of the existence of third party apps and consider the protests to be “pointless”.

      Agreed, but those users probably never contributed much. I would argue the users who bothered to seek out a third party app were more engaged and active. So those are the people who are now leaving, which may hurt Reddit disproportionately.
