Reddit forces login to access old.reddit.com

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

Reddit sucks but this is asinine. The stock is down ~35% this year but still up almost 250% since ipo.

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