Yeah reading that was like watching a demogorgon slaughter your friend while you hide in the shadows and hope it can't hear you breathe

Yup, that's gonna be next. Some asshole in a suit is gonna find out that by killing off all but one way to access Reddit, they can increase ad impressions, so that's what they're going to do. Thanks, /u/spez! Way to cook the golden goose that made you.

They've got their justification ready:
In other words, by reducing the number of ways Reddit can be accessed, we can better focus on building an overall simpler, stronger platform for all.
You've got your shitty redesign, and you'll like it!

I think old.reddit might actually be in a decently safe position thanks to moderators (not to mention RES or toolbox or whatever mods use).
One thing to annoy your casual users and try to force/push them towards more ads or your lame official app -- it's another to cripple your moderators. Last I knew, new.reddit doesn't have feature parity with old.reddit -- much less RES or toolbox or whatever it's called.

> haha i'm in danger.
they likely know that new reddit is as popular as new digg, and that removing old reddit would be a major risk of mass exodus (and at a time they're trying to IPO no less).
it's not like reddit was massive when the digg influx happened a decade or so ago.
