Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com
arstechnica.com
Reddit says the beloved site is used for some "bad behavior."

As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

    I knew it was over when the CEO payed himself 200 million the year before it went public (or whatever) he basically looted the fucking place cause he knew it’d be worthless soon after

        Yeah but the site is worthless now, so the stock price will follow when the market realises what’s going on.

          Yes, Reddit now is truly worthless because:

          • it’s riddled with bots, so humans can’t have real conversations
          • AI companies already scraped all old content and now they can’t scrape the newer content because it’s poisoned by AI itself
          • Google won’t index subreddits anymore now that you can’t see the content unless logged in
