The best thing about this is other people don't need "old.reddit.com" to "new.reddit.com" redirector extensions. Reddit assumes if you put "old." or "new." then you explicitly want to override your account's preferences.

I will note that this setting occasionally "unsticks" and you start getting the new one again... I assume that's a purposeful "feature" to see if they can cleave off some people who now tolerate it or don't notice.

I have done this, yet your link takes me to the new reddit. It's incredibly annoying.

Because https://reddit.com/settings didn't exist on old Reddit so it can't take you there.
https://reddit.com/prefs is similar but not actually the same page and, conversely, this old page will only load with the old interface regardless of your preference as it doesn't exist in the new interface.

OK, with that page that's how it works. But I regularly click links and end up on new reddit while logged in. That's what's annoying.
Just go to your Reddit account settings[0] and click "Opt out of the redesign" at the bottom. (Or on old Reddit you uncheck "Use new Reddit as my default experience"). Once you do this you'll now see old Reddit on www.reddit.com.
