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:~~

~~||reddit.com^$header=referer:~~

Edit: Best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

Fuck reddit.

If you need the old info download the archive. 99% of anything newer than 3 years is going to be bot slop. There's zero reason to go to reddit intentionally.
