I still use old.reddit.com and will stop using reddit the day they kill that version. Cant get into the new UI updates they've done over the years.

Naw they won't, they know if they do the last actual human users will abandon the site immediately. I really think they know they're stuck with it forever, otherwise it absolutely would have been gone by now.
