Beyond that, it also just runs way worse; new.reddit takes at least twice as long to load a page than old.reddit. And when your entire business model is based on exploiting my stunted attention span to trick me into reading advertisements, you can't give me that extra two and a half seconds to realize maybe I don't give a shit about half the garbage I just mindlessly scrolled through, or else I'm gonna just go, like, fly a kite or something. And I don't wanna do that, where do you even get a kite?

And hell, it's entirely possible this rate limit isn't just restricted to old.reddit, but nobody's noticed yet because new.reddit is too slow to make 100 requests in a measly 10 minutes.

where do you even get a kite?

I dunno. But I know I would've searched best budget kite on reddit before lol.
