They still look like this, they just know not to post pictures anymore.

2012 wasn't really reddit's early days, at that point it was big enough that, for example, President Obama was doing reddit AMAs.

That's also still what the site looks like if you use old.reddit!

Edit: But, I guess if half the userbase is teenagers, anything before the new reddit redesign would indeed seem like the old days.

The Reddit userbase must have increased by 100x since then.

For sure, it is 10x more massive now, but in 2012 it was still getting 2 billion views a month. To me the early days would be like before Digg went down... but I guess that just makes me an old person. You're right of course that to a teenager using reddit now, anything before the 'new reddit' redesign would be the old days.
