I predict old reddit is going to go away soon.

    Why? Not only have the masses remained since last year, they showed how docile they are and how much further mistreatment they'll tolerate.

      I have mostly left. You can tell that the website is not at all the same since the protests. There are measurably fewer contributors and the quality of the content and discussions suffered. The bots have taken over. The front page is unbearable. Perhaps it still scratches an itch when you have a few minutes to kill, but it only survives because nothing else really replaces it. This can’t go on forever.

  I hope so. Old Reddit is how my internet addiction thrives, if it goes away I might be rid of this electronic demon for good.

  Still, old-vs-standard is a fascinating example of how someone can pour millions into a new interface which is--accidentally or possibly deliberately--shit. Especially when you're arriving through a search engine and the discussion you wanted to find is is buried somewhere in a thousand "load more comments" prompts that occasionally all reset because of an unexpected page transition. P.S.: Actually, doesn't that tie back into the Reddit spokesperson's "communities should honor the expectations they set"? If I search for a particular term and some Reddit comments come up, I expect to actually see that term when I click through, rather than have the corporation pull some bait and switch with the content.
