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:

Edit: Best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

I loved reddit for the first year or so, we had some quiet communities for reddit that were everyone just messing around. It was fun and then it really wasn't.

    God, post-digg era was peak. When subs like r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu were still active. It was just folks talking about their lives and relating to eachother. Then we all grew up, life got serious, and the culture wars started.
