"Old Reddit is dead, ignore it" — debunked

"Old Reddit is dead, ignore it" — debunked
This week on Reddit marketing, a platform assumption worth revisiting:

— [Tool] A meaningful share of power users and most mods still run old.reddit.com, where sidebar rules, wiki links, and AutoMod context are far more visible than on the new design — per mod-tooling threads on r/modhelp.
— [Tactic] Reading a sub's rules on old Reddit surfaces the detailed self-promo wiki that the redesign often hides behind clicks.
— [Case] A marketer on r/TheoryOfReddit noted they kept breaking rules they literally couldn't see on mobile until they checked old Reddit.

Editor's pick: keep old Reddit bookmarked for research — the rules that get you banned are often the ones the new interface buries.
