What is the effect of that though?

So what? We lose a small amount of TV money and we have the opportunity to have more interest and attendances due to being in a more competitive league.

As has also been said before we are a bit different to some of the leagues elsewhere in that we do have a number of fairly big and well attended teams. There would be added interest in games like Hibs v Hearts or Hibs v Aberdeen with league titles at stake.
Your only looking at it from a Hibs point of view though. Rangers and celtic leaving MIGHT benefit us, hearts, Aberdeen. But does nothing for 90% of the other teams. Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen just replace celtic and rangers as the dominant force. You might get a descent Dundee Utd and I'll give you another team but NO ONE else is winning the league. Airdrie, Hamilton, Partick Thistle, Morton, Raith, Dumbarton, QOS, Arbroath, Ross County, St Johnstone and all the rest will all still be the same except there's now no rangers or celtic.
Rangers and celtic leave. We win the league, qualifying for Europe. We invest and squad becomes stronger so we go on to win the league again and qualify for Europe. We win the the again and so on and so on. We follow celtics business plan, model cause like it or lump it, it's where we want to be. Great for us. Does nothing for Scottish football.
