These companies don't realise their most engaged users generate a disproportionate amount of their content.

They will just go to their own spaces.

I think this a good thing in the long run, the internet will become decentralised again.

I don't know. It feels a bit like "When I quit my employer will realize how much they depended on me." The realization tends to be on the other side.

But while SO may keep functioning fine it would be great if this caused other places to spring up as well. Reddit and X/Twitter are still there but I'm glad we have the fediverse.

The company's get hit hard by unplanned vacancies. It won't take them down, but it can cost them buckets of money in either expenses, lost revenue or both. The thing is, the people that left will never know that, there coworkers will never see it, only people in finance and budget will know how to quantify the impact.

Individuals leaving don't have an immediate impact but entire groups of people?

People can see how that worked out for Boeing when many of their experienced engineers and quality inspectors left.

Well, reddit is doing fine so far. Shareholders are happy

CEO will have his bag and be gone by then.
