I’d say it’s because they have kept the core platform unchanged. In other words, they haven’t really done anything. Heading on over to old.reddit.com is pretty much the same as it was 15 years ago (more or less). As soon as it’s actually impossible to avoid their push to their terrible ‘new’ site and app, I’m jumping ship. Classic Reddit is like Craigslist, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Just keep the servers running and DO NOTHING ELSE. It’s a sweet gig if you can get it.
