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:

It's also been forcing login to access new reddit, so as far as I can tell the site is just completely unusable for anyone without an account.

    they want people to use the APP, which is shittier than newreddit on the browser. with the app its more acces to data on your devices(thats how they target/profile people for bans too.)
