I actually run a medium-sized sub - our traffic stats show about 50/50 old vs new, and this is the sort of sub that caters to a tech savvy, older userbase - the sort of people I’d imagine would be the core demo for old Reddit. I suspect way more people are using new Reddit than you think, especially on the more general use subs.
Or put another way: the people running Reddit aren’t trying to lose money, and they have more detailed traffic stats than we do. I think things like RPAN are silly, but there always seem to be lots of people active on it.
Edit: apparently site-wide two years ago 60% of traffic was exclusively new Reddit, 30% was old Reddit, and 10% was a mix.
