> Reddit has recently blocked access to old reddit without an account

Old Reddit still works just fine without an account.

Are you sure? If I visit https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/ in private mode (i.e. without my auth cookies) then I am asked to log in.

Wellp, not for me... Shame, reddit has/had really good answers to a variety of problems that I've had over the years. Not sure if there's a replacement for it, or if there will ever be another.

They are just trying to close the loophole from the scrapers.

They are selling content to google et al for their LLMs and they don't want to give it away for free.

		You can still add .json to any thread and get the full comments in a single object. The anti scraping features must be a rate limiting thing, because it’s very machine readable otherwise. They just want to push people to be logged in and use the app.

Not working for me either without an account anymore. Seems like a very recent change.

I had to login the other day to use it. Probably getting slowly rolled out.

It works sometimes, it's been inconsistent lately. I assume they're rolling out the blocks incrementally or something, because sometimes I can get through to it in a private window and other times I can't.
