I agree. They know not to do what digg did. I kept saying reddit would go the way of digg the day they stop hosting old.reddit.com. I kept waiting for it to be discontinued, but it never was. I am honestly impressed they had the foresight to keep old.reddit.com functional even after spending 3 years building a whole new interface.

I use the redirect plugin and honestly forget the redesign exists. I think they know shutting down old.reddit would 100% digg them, although I'm surprised too. I'd love to see a comparison of how popular each version is.

Apparently about 10%?

I was lucky to check a "keep old.reddit permanent" box on my reddit account so it's stuck on old reddit, and I like it that way. The redesign is mainly to push advertiser content, just like digg, but they're being more subtle about it.

same here took me forever to find that setting, honestly i would have been completely done with it years ago if i hadnt been able to keep the original setup. cant believe theyr'es only 10% that's crazy.
