They don't give a shit about what a company is doing today, except to the extent it is predictive of the future. Investors look at this and see lots of activity of users who actively hate the company, that's not future growth

Yes. And if you look at Reddit today, it's still alive and full of buzz.

The third-party app userbase was a small percentage of the site.

Most people are indifferent and so they keep using it.

There's actually plenty of user activity there.

Enough to make the outrage negligble.

There are magnitudes more OC on Reddit than Lemmy just by nature of their user base size. There are bots and reposts, sure, but Lemmy pales in comparison to the amount of OC on Reddit
