people returning to old posts or commenting on them rarely happens
Isn't that because old posts are archived on Reddit and can't be commented on?

The majority of people are primarily interested in recent/fresh posts.
How would you know that? The more posts there are the more "older" posts there will be to look at and review. Would it be convenient for a user to look at these posts with a bunch of deleted content?
