I know old reddit is not an SPA, but that's entirely the point. New reddit is clearly written as an SPA. Old reddit was created before SPAs were super common, so it uses a different architecture.

    Right, and I explained that looks like a very common event gateway kind of architecture, which has many legitimate uses.

    Now, it's entirely possible that Reddit is also using it for tracking shit (because of who they are), but the mere fact that an event gateway exists isn't evidence of that. Here's the Wikipedia article on the architecture: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_architecture.

    I have no doubt Reddit is doing shitty things (as evidenced by, well, everything in the last several years), but that's entirely unrelated to what kind of architecture is involved. You can do shitty stuff with regular JS, cookies, etc. on webpages.

    I simply don't want people thinking that this is actual evidence of wrongdoing, because it isn't.
