Used Reddit for 14 years as a registered member and longer since before I signed up.

The day old.reddit.com stops working is the day I stop using reddit completely, I detest their new UI so much that it’s essentially unusable for me.

I agree completely. I've used Reddit since at least 2008. I quit Facebook over what they did to WhatsApp and will never use another Meta product. Reddit is getting dangerously close.

It's very clear there is not an adult at reddit who can tell the people in power NO.

Same. My account is some 16y 10m old.

I use Reddit less and less YoY and even day to day. But the day old goes I’m out.

Frankly I only use it for fairly niche subreddits and even then it’s more like 10 minutes a day.

I’m also not a core demographic at this point anymore.

yeah, it's pretty wild how bad it is

I ended up having to pay $2 for a Safari iOS extension to auto-redirect reddit links to old.reddit just so I could actually read the site when I got there via web searches. There's no usability whatsoever

I just painstakingly pinch and pan around old.reddit rather than try to wrestle with their dog-awful app or redesign

semi-related: I've been trying to get the WallStreetBets mods to just make their own version of Reddit instead of putting up with the admins' constant bullshit.. they're basically singlehandedly funding that whole shitshow and get nothing out of it but scam ads, users randomly banned for saying a no-no word, etc

100% agreed, it is absolutely awful.

They learned nothing from the Digg apocalypse.

Yeah. The new UI is terrible.

The moment they kill old Reddit I'm out too.
