The new UI is great! It keeps the programmers occupied so they stop messing with the old UI that I actually want to use.

This was one of the few UI changes that I never got accustomed to over time. It's still just as bad, irritating and ugly as the first day I used it.

The day they turn off old reddit and stop third party API access is the day I can finally detox myself from reddit.

I mean there's not nothing you can do. You can still grab the source to old Reddit and it's just a matter of gluing the old UI to the new API like all the 3rd party clients do.

Not trivial by any means but there's a lot of prior art floating around you could pull from.

Sure they could pull API access and be more hostile to scrapers but that's the current escape hatch for people who would have left because of the redesign.

I'm even more worried they'll shut off the API at some point and start going hostile to third-party clients.

That might begin the next major exodus. Digg -> Reddit -> ???
