That makes sense, thanks for explaining that!

Do we know why they choose to do this? Is it because old Reddit is not profitable or something like that, that's my initial assumption.

I don't think it has anything to do with profits to be honest.

I think they moved to new reddit to make it more accessible to the broader population. They didn't think much about mods when doing it. I've also heard that old reddit is pretty buggy, so building new features on it would cause loads of unintended errors, so new reddit also solves for that.
