>there's no benefit to the user to have an old account with lots of karma

Some subs have a minimum amount age or karma requirement to post. This is ostensibly to combat bots.

Those are very low thresholds.

You are right, but it is still annoying when cycling accounts.

Yea, you have to precycle effectively and create accounts before hand and let them build at least a small amount of karma.

These days I don't even log into reddit. After wide spread banning from subreddits for random reasons it's not worthwhile. I'll keep browsing old.red as long as it exists but if it goes away I'll DNS block all reddit at the router.
