So far the people who were most likely to jump ship on reddit were those who were the most fed up with what reddit has become lately.
I just had my 10th cakeday on reddit about a month ago and I've seen a steep decline in quality for both posts and interactions for the last 4-5 years, with it accelerating in the last year or so. Those that never tried old reddit on desktop or a 3rd party app see no reason to jump ship for another platform, and a large portion of the rude commenters and trolls showed up after the new layout was default and reddit had their own official app in the app stores.
Reddit just filtered out most of the people that made the site what it was in the first place. If it was turning into a shithole before all the people that actually care about the site left, just imagine what it will be like in the coming weeks now that we're gone.

it's going to rapidly become a poorly moderated dumpster and people will eventually stop visiting until it becomes a zombie forum

I never tried 3rd party app and didn't really like old reddit (as a layout).

I'm just annoyed by big social media getting too comfortable with new "features" they are adding, and worried about the fact that they are becoming more and more monopolistic, and it seems like I'm not the only one, so I'd say that there are more reasons to leave reddit.

For many people its more about what is happening on the internet in general rather than some sort of dislike towards reddit in particular.
