If you have an account, you can use the old version of reddit by default by unselecting "Use the redesign as my default experience"

It's all but guaranteed that if Reddit removes old Reddit and forces new Reddit on everyone third party web clients with ads that generate money for someone else will pop up and fill the gap.

Sure until they change the api and/or api terms of service. See twitter.

That didn't work for me and many others. I had to install an extension.

It looks like that option is only available on old reddit. If I opt out of both beta tests and the redesign in the "Account settings" section of my user settings, I go back to old reddit by default.
