How? The site is so slow and unresponsive, as for threads it hand-picks like 3 comments at best, you have to click to see all and it still won't show all. How and why do people put up?

low visibility for the option to revert to old Reddit.

But how many people does that single percentage number represent? With hundreds of thousands of active accounts, loosing 5% of users is not an insignificant amount of a user base.

I can't see anything replacing Reddit any time soon, though.

Is it shrinking due to conversions to new reddit or due to new users signing up and throwaway alts who never convert to old Reddit?
