They are dropping subscriber count and online user count from Old Reddit’s subreddit sidebars. On Shreddit (the newer design) they get replaced with a new 7 day average, but on Old Reddit they’ve announced they’ll remove them entirely and won’t replace them with anything.
That’s the only thing I see people complain about in regards to Old Reddit in that thread.
That said, this follows a trend and it’s clear to me that they ARE dropping Old Reddit. They’re moving features away, requiring you to use Shreddit to access more and more features of the site. For example chat and the notifications inbox are replacing private messages, but they only support Shreddit. So users who want to view replies to their posts have to visit Shreddit to see them. Now with this change, if you want to see how many subscribers a subreddit has, you need to switch to Shreddit to see that.
