    I feel it mostly affected long timers. The younger crowd doesn’t seem to care. I have a feeling that old.reddit.com will be going away very soon.

    The API change made me stop using Reddit on Mobile (I never installed their client, I also think I’m maybe on 3-4 subreddits now) and once they remove old, it will kill my use of their desktop and therefore Reddit completely.

      You’re absolutely correct. And because of that, content quality has plummeted and if you read comments, they are on a downward trajectory.

      I’ll read comments here and think, “holy shit these people are stupid” and then I’ll go to Reddit and realize how much more stupid people can get. Comments on Reddit are the absolute bottom of the barrel. Way worse than YouTube has ever been.
