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:

      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
