Yea, I noticed. I use Reddit on read mode only. They keep suspending me despite me appealing several times. It doesn't help that I tried creating new accounts each time which is against their rules (evading), but that was only because my initial appeal received no response! But they let bots roam freely on their land. It's annoying because I have communities I really like there like the ufc or mma Subreddits. Ah, this is completely off topic. Ignore me. Edit: I wonder what percentage of Reddit users use Old reddit. I suspect a great deal of Hacker News users use old reddit.

Tactics to wean more people off the old one? Or just a regular outage?

I just don't get why they don't just put more ads into old reddit? People hate new one, always had. Fix the mobile issue, stuff it with ads and be done with it...
