Do you know if old.reddit is going to be vanquished as well?

When I talked to my Discord group, they asked for a source. Ironically, I can't access the threads with all the logistical explanations of why old.reddit would be eliminated (because... they've gone private), and while yes, an official source/confirmation would actually give them cause to be angry (I totally get it - no one wants to think they can't use old.reddit any longer), it's frustrating to see they're not accepting it.

I can imagine one reason being no support for in-line video ads, when scrolling down a subreddit or the homepage

Right now the ads are limited to a tiny image and a title on old.reddit. There was also a traditional squarish ad space on the right hand side IIRC but I've never seen an ad in there...

I really don't know. I definitely recall Spez saying it's safe. But it seems like we'd be wise to not trust a word he says.
