There was a Reddit post a while back where they confirmed the OP was part of an A/B test to disable logging in to old.reddit.com on mobile. Not a great sign.

That makes sense though considering that they wanted to kill the 3rd party apps too. I'd imagine that for desktop users it shouldn't matter much wether you're using the redesign or old.reddit - they'll be able to collect the same data and show the same ads.
