Hate to break it to you, but nobody uses old anymore. As a subreddit mod you can see traffic breakdown stats, and old makes up around 5% of traffic. Up to 10% on some subs. I'm a moderator of a highly technical niche sub and it's about 5-10% for me. Other mods of various subs have commented with their stats and it's always in that 5-10 range.
Old users may create more content than normal users, I don't know about that. The niche subs might take a hit, but the main website and big subs will continue on without disruption if they kill old. (Assuming mods continue to mod - and Reddit can replace/hire mods as needed)
- ineedasername 3y agoI use old. I’m sure it’s a minority, but either volume or quality of those users is, for now, enough value for Reddit to support it. As much as I’d like them to keep old indefinitely, I’m sure they’re just waiting for the value equation to tip negative before they kill old.
- kibibu 3y agoCan you see traffic through apps/API?
- the_pwner224 3y agoFor my sub it's about: 5% old.reddit.com >10% "iOS" >10% "mobile web" 20% "Android" 50% new.reddit.com (non-mobile, presumably) Most subs should have a pretty similar distribution, the numbers don't vary much. Reddit doesn't specify how it tracks 3rd party apps and APIs in these stats.
