Oh absolutely, especially those celebrities who comes in, promote their latest project, say some catchphrases, and leave. Why would they do such a thing?
Also, that's Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
People aren't going to leave reddit all at once right away, because structure means that individual subreddits are very much isolated from one another in terms of users.
However, it's likely that we will be seeing some kind of cultural shift happening there as quality get worse. I feel it's inevitable that there will be more low effort content pumped out as quickly as possible than ever before now there is an actual monetary incentive instead of imaginary Internet points, and all personalized feed and ad is going to do is isolate individual users in their individual bubble and not allowing human connections to form between them.
Things are getting better here. The regulars recongnize each other's name and personalitu, whereas on reddit all the usernames all blends together into an amorphous mass unless it's one of those novelty accounts or e-celeb or something. That's the key difference between Lemmy and reddit right now.
No, think of every instance as it's own independent "reddit" that links to each other, and you can subscribe to and comment on the "subreddits" (called "communities") of not just your home "reddit", but the "subreddits" of other linked "reddits" with just one account.

Sometimes I can be pretty mean and stubborn in real life, so I actively try to not bring that here.
I gave up on Internet arguments a while back, felt like I was getting too old. Most of us are grown ups here, so we should all act like grown ups here.
Unlike Twitter or other news sites, reddit already has a sorting algorithm: voting, and personalized feeds defeats the entire point of reddit, since now everybody gets a different front page, which is good for selling targeted ads but bad for promoting genuine engagement where people naturally talk to each other about what everyone wants to talk about.
I don't think the leaderships at reddit understands their own product at all, but that's not a surprise at this point.
By the way, anyone notice that circlejerks are pretty rare here compared to reddit?
Foolish lemmings, you only thought you could escape from the endless barrage of advertisement on this obscure technology forum, but over the past 3 months, I have TRICKED you into watching my super awesome movie that I'm currently not allowed to promote in theater!
Nowhere is safe from the masterful marketing techniques of Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie. Nowhere.
In the next series "The Batman Who Laughs", they showed that the mainstream Joker also had this failsafe too and no spoilers because the plot kinda builds around that.
