Right now, 100% of my usage is old.reddit.com and 0% of my usage is on the new design. These numbers won’t change if they remove old reddit — I’ll just stop using the site.

I keep hearing this repeated by people who use the site. Honestly, no they won't. At least the vast majority of them. There's literally no viable replacement.

For tech people, you're looking at the viable replacement. For other people, if they're deliberately going out of your way to avoid the redesign, they may replace it with nothing (and be happier, as most people find they are when they quit social media).
