You take away power users and people fed up with Reddit and the casual user who doesn't care is left over.
If you look at blackout votes it was usually around 4 to 1 in favor.
During and shortly after the blackouts there were a ton of upset casual users calling the mods cunts, the blackouts don't help, stop holding other users hostage, give me back my content!!!
Those users don't care about third party apps, mod tooling and so on, they just want to browse the site. These angry users got the loudest while protestors took a break or left for the Fediverse.
