Well I wouldn't class myself as a huge tech nerd, more a person who can work a computer and has an interest in computers etc. But yes this is primarily an exodus of users who actually engage in the platform. Those who lurk and make Reddit ad revenue will remain for much much longer Its just another hit to the quality of content and moderation on the platform
If that's what ultimately happens, that's OK. A worst case scenario is them back peddling enough to keep things going and just roll out their plan over a longer duration to avoid a mass exodus of the contributing users.
