And, indeed, you can use archive.today to get past the login wall:

https://archive.ph/HcOq2 (This is a link to the post for this article)

(If one’s ISP can’t access archive.today, I find that Firefox’s built in free VPN can usually access them)

Or, you can use on of the various Reddit scrapers, e.g:

Here’s a list of Reddit scrapers:

Personally, as scummy as archive.today is at times, I can generally trust them to have an honest archive about, say, someone’s drunk post before said drunk deletes the post.

You can just not use old.reddit.com. Regular reddit.com works without login.
