    I wonder if it’s location dependant or they’re still doing A/B testing.

    I had to stop defaulting to old as those I set it to kept getting the login page

      It is 100% based on location/something similar

      My work laptop can still browse old reddit while my home machine cannot, even while both are using my router (this only applies when I am using my work VPN which defaults to my company’s headquarters as default location which is in a different state)

      They might just deploy it to some servers but not others and then you randomly get this or you don’t.

      While I’m not entirely against rolling deployments, for like uptime and preventing bugs from taking out everything, I think part of the reasons they are done is to squash resistance because every time an antifeature gets rolled out most of the discussion is not about how shit it is but about whether it’s even real and by the time everyone has it the people that got it early are already used to it.
