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.
