I find it... intriguing that reddit have chosen to update their "legacy" website with this feature. Not very legacy?

  A theory I heard being floated around is that most of the "power users" (ie. the 1% or 9%[1]) use old reddit, so if they shut it down there's a risk of all them leaving and taking their content with them.

    Sure... but they still don't have to add features to it, no? Just ensure it stays functioning to access the basics of reddit, posts and comments. For a feature that is currently on a test basis, and is widely derided (pure conjecture here) by said power users, it just seems... strange?
