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:

Some tips:

  • We do have some trolls, we’re getting more popular. If you feel like someone is picking on you, those are them.
  • Active is the default, but can seem less active because the active posts stay up longer. I made my default Hot, but then I check Active and Top 6 Hours.
  • You’re probably going to go through a withdrawel. It varies by person, but mine took about a week or two.

Welcome.
