I use RIF for android and it now has a GDPR consent thing that I refuse everytime.

It's amazing that reddit survived its redesign, I wish they would rollback. I'm also curious about how many users still use the old design.

If they remove the old design, I would obviously not use reddit anymore, and I don't know if there are viable frontends that would allow me to login.

Last time I looked at the graphs, it was something like a single-digit percentage of users that are still using old.reddit.com, and shrinking.
How? The site is so slow and unresponsive, as for threads it hand-picks like 3 comments at best, you have to click to see all and it still won't show all. How and why do people put up?
low visibility for the option to revert to old Reddit.
But how many people does that single percentage number represent? With hundreds of thousands of active accounts, loosing 5% of users is not an insignificant amount of a user base.

I can't see anything replacing Reddit any time soon, though.

Is it shrinking due to conversions to new reddit or due to new users signing up and throwaway alts who never convert to old Reddit?
The redesign by all metrics has been a resounding success.

It’s probably one of the best examples of a company ignoring the vocal minority in order to succeed.
