A well-run community will either be explicit about its age/karma requirement, or it will manually approve filtered posts from low-reputation accounts. I moderate /r/flashlight and we use the latter approach.

That takes work though. Some moderators are lazy, and some communities are understaffed. That's not good, but it most cases it's not malicious. It has fairly little to do with Reddit the company making money from advertisers.
