> Users were supposedly massively exiting Reddit when that cesspool imploded

According to who? Tech journalists?

> 95% of them never left

Probably 95% of a VERY small number.

> it's easy to check and changes your opinion

Actually, I'd encourage you to take into account my theory that an incredibly, INCREDIBLY small percentage of Reddit users were making a LOT of noise about leaving Reddit, and it made a lot of people believe that there was a mas exodus, when most people didn't care at all. (What was the mass exodus supposed to be over, anyway? Blocking 3rd party apps? I know that HN is a tech worker echo chamber, but really, how many people out in the wild even trust 3rd party apps at all?)
