I use it sometimes because the app sucks and there is a trove of old posts containing valuable discussions. Old lets you access everything without logging in, including the dtuff they marked as "adult" content.
How many years has it been? I still can't get over it that some people started using reddit after the redesign, and they like it.
- 2018, it's been seven years of redirecting to old.reddit.com (well, 2 years of redirecting hundreds of pages a day and 5 years of redirecting a page or 2 per week when they show up in search results.)
“People have said they’ll leave Reddit if we kill old Reddit. We believe them. It scares us.”
- If search brings up a reddit site, I'm sure to switch it to old.
It annoys the heck out of me that you now see the activity notification in the legacy ui.
- But don't you want to know that you got a new achievement! Considering using a custom style to hide it myself.
