I never opt in to anything and somehow my account got permanently opted in (as in none of the opt out links work and I have to use a browser extension to keep old.reddit). Further, based on replies to my gripes, this seems to be a common state of affairs.

Don't praise them just because you're in the control group ;)




That's strange. You don't have any 'old reddit' options in the settings? I wonder how that came about... How young/old is your account?


I do have the setting. It doesn't work (well, it "works" and then reverts). 6 year old account IIRC.


Wow, is this really the case? If so, that is really bad and this is worthy of some of the concern/frustration.


Yes, it's really the case. We wouldn't need browser extensions to force old.reddit if the opt-in/opt-out obeyed our wishes.
