Yeah I generally agree with that, I just think reddit is at the point of not giving a shit if they break the old.reddit site, and that somebody in every meeting is probably calling for them to axe it entirely, and if they actually did that it wouldn't kill the site even if it would be bad for it.
I honestly think one of the biggest issues with axing old reddit is that old reddit users are disproportionately moderators (even though new reddit has unique mod tools). Reddit survives off of unpaid labour, it may be a bit wise to rock the apple cart too much.
