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:

      the 90 9 1 rule is the rule of activity. its basically saying that 90% of users are lurkers, 9% contribute some, and 1% are major contributors.

        I’ve often seen it adjusted for things like Reddit as such:

        90% of users only view

        9% of users vote

        1% of users comment

        Thank you. That definitely lines up with my experience moderating subreddits and communities.
