I’d disagree but it does depend on your instance and how you curate the content you want to view.

Such is the beauty of the fediverse, block/mute/filter freely and openly. I'd block and filter more if I weren't an admin. Curating your content is the purpose of the fediverse, you make the algorithm.
Sadly a lot of the good content will be lost, regardless of migration or encouraging users to take it off the site. Eventually someone in Reddit Inc. will have the "bright" idea to wipe everything out, to reduce spendings on data storage.

In the short term it goes as you say, they're selling API access to the LLM bubble. (And they're likely selling your data too, against your consent.)
However in the long term the LLM bubble will explode, and users will disengage with the site, causing a downwards spiral. At some point of that spiral they'll delete the data, after it's unprofitable. I think.
I think quality hobby communities like the ones that used to exist on Reddit require both smart people and a larger population to create a sense of social investment. This kind of information used to be distributed across forums with fewer than 1k people each, which isn't so bad, but does prevent it from propagating easily.
People have to post content, but most users lurk. It's a chicken/egg scenario.
