Yeah, and honestly that's a really great thing that they have pulled off very well. In the olden days, the front page was the only option and now it's really just their "Top of the Funnel" so to speak. Most user-generated content sites have a solid 90/9/1 split where 90% are passive consumers who are either not logged in or logged in only to curate their feed, 9% might make comments, and 1% are driving most of the submissions and moderation. The front page is dominated by the 90% and exists to drive SEO and ad views to pay for everyone else. If you are in the other 10%, you login, curate a feed that excludes /r/funny or /r/pics and just zooms in on the special interests you like and it's a fantastic experience. And yeah, you do that with old.reddit.com (or i.reddit.com).
