Interesting thread linked in that article—mentions that usage has dropped on new reddit, but TPTB don’t care because they’re making bank on all the new ads.
I check Reddit like once a week since I started using Lemmy. I guess it will be down to nonce per week

Oh? Guess what I require old.reddit.com to do?
Well got permabanned anyway. Seems like ibhad an old Account which was banned. I didnt even remember. I did make a new account some days ago and got banned for breaking the rules(avoiding the ban with another account) fine, i deleted that Account aswell :D

yeah, this is the first of several steps to killing old reddit. And good riddance. I hope the whole company burns.

surprised they still have old.reddt available. before i got kicked out they were planning on shutting it down to force everyone onto the new shit. made my ban less painful
It is available, but it isn't convenient in this day and age where 95% of posts are media files - and they redirect you to the new website when you open a photo/video.

what the fuck
Oh you know old.reddit its next.
I can still log in after my mass banning. So I get all the subs I like (not mains, hobbies), they get no ad revenue as I adblock everything. They just get a BS stat that I was there and they killed off my engagement stats because of the frivolous ban.
Its like they can't see they are driving towards a cliff.
Here is the thing, I don't think they are driving towards a cliff. In olden times, reddit was one of several options for doomscrolling, with Slashdot, Digg, et Al. When Digg shot themselves in the foot, Reddit was ready to take up the slack, so eternal September happened, and Digg essentially withered away.
At that time the combined user base of these sites was probably an order of magnitude less of present day reddit.
I believe that reddit has achieved critical mass, and they can pretty much do any shit they want. They may lose users, but they'll be a drop in the bucket.
The inertia is too large.
The inertia is too large.
Myspace, Digg and Slashbot thought that too. Look at FB basically a bot farm like reddit. Something new will come along, maybe its Lemmy, it was Voat for a second. Discord, IG, TikTac have all be chipping away at them.
They all will fall down if they over reach.
Not being combative, its just how this goes imo.

I have started to block reddit as much as a I can already.
I wish, there would be an option in Lemmy/PieFed to hide any article that references reddit.
