The vast majority of the interesting and older users left years ago, soon after the redesign and mobile app. The majority of these valuable contributions did not migrate to nor were not replaced by any new public online service. This summer's loss wasn't as big a deal as the proportion of genuinely valuable contributors leaving is much smaller then the last exodus, and nearly all the affected subreddits are closer to the internet average, which being 2023 is filled with far more low value spam then the mid 2010s.
