> Reddit has recently blocked access to old reddit without an account Old Reddit still works just fine without an account.

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

  Maybe for you. I get a nice > Log in to use old Reddit > To keep Reddit safe, accounts are required to access old Reddit. Log in, or continue without an account on reddit.com.

    You in the UK?
    • tempest_ 27d ago
      No, but I am not in the US
    • ipsod 27d ago
      I get the same, seemingly randomly, from US. No more, since I installed the "always old reddit" plugin in firefox.

  Are you sure? If I visit https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/ https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/ in private mode (i.e. without my auth cookies) then I am asked to log in.
  • bradyd 27d ago
    Yeah, that loads right up for me.
    • rickstanley 27d ago
      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.
        • jazzyjackson 27d ago
          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 for me - both at work and home. I need to be logged in.
    • gonzalohm 27d ago
      Doesn't work for me
  • kriz9 27d ago
    I guess they are A/B testing this “feature”.

    Probably a VPN or your IP was soft-banned. I have the same thing happen due to my network wide vpn

  > Old Reddit still works just fine without an account. 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.

  it works just fine for you, but not everyone.
• NBJack 27d ago
  Not for long, sadly.
• angel- 27d ago
  Not working for me either without an account anymore. Seems like a very recent change.
• TaLiTr 27d ago
  As of right now, on Firefox for Android, I am prompted to log in.
