Big tech getting greedy is how we got reddit in the first place. And reddit getting too greedy is what is leading to lemmy. So ya it is driving innovation. People either think it's worth it or driven to develop an better or suitable alternative.
So what you are saying is that supporting alternatives is more beneficial to innovation than paying declining Big Tech incumbents more.
I am saying you pay for something as long as you think it's worth it and as long as you think it's working and improving and then support an alternative when you don't. Things getting too expensive for their value has been a cornerstone to driving new innovation throughout history.
