When old.reddit.com dies, it’s over.

Mobile is just the name of the game. I don't get it -- I can't stand browsing the web on mobile versus a laptop -- but when you look at the metrics, it's hard to argue against optimizing for that channel.

Are we sure this is intentional and not a recent bug? I feel like I've seen gallery sets before on the old UI.

Facebook also appears to be killing mbasic.facebook.com. It increasingly redirects me to m.facebook.com.

Their mistake was keeping the old interface around at all. If they had just killed it off we would have complained about it for a while and then just moved on.

Killing off the old interface and forcing users to use the new one is the reason Reddit still exists and Digg effectively does not.

The icon to expand the image flashes for a second, then disappears. This is on desktop too.
