All this hate towards u/spez only gives reddit engagement. The only way to real success is by making users move to Lemmy.

You really think 1000 (being very very generous here) people from lemmy going to r/Place to advertise is going to give a boost to Reddit’s user engagement? On the other hand 1000 people coming from Reddit to lemmy will be like a 1% boost to Lemmy.

No, I’m not saying Lemmy users checking in represent any material change to Reddit numbers. I’m saying Place gets Reddit a short term boost to demonstrate the site still has pull. And that is what Reddit cares about far more than good content - eyeballs to sell ads to, and comments to sell to LLM companies.
