Unfortunately from what I've seen on big gaming subs is that enough users simply don't care. Take a look at /r/rocketleague for example. Mods made a post saying they can't permanently black out the sub due to it being owned by psyonix and the top comment on that thread has hundreds of up votes and comments saying they don't care about the API changes. It's really that mentality of "I don't care unless I'm personally affected" is why we're in this mess to begin with!
I wonder how many of them use a 3rd party app and just don't understand what's about to happen. Or they use a 3rd party app and don't even realize it's 3rd party because they installed it ages ago from the phone store and to them it's just "reddit".
And some of them of course, use the horrible default app and are OK with it.
Honestly at this point, if those folks get stuck in the internet void...I don't think it's a big loss.
I think you didn't consider the horrifying third alternative. That they've been using and are used to the default reddit app/experience because that's the norm now
The sad thing is they are personally affected, they're just too damn ignorant to know. Even worse, they cling to their ignorance, which is frankly the worst sin a human being can commit.
