Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"

This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Just use old.reddit.com if your still going to view reddit...

Yeah, it is not as nice as the modern version (modern version iscomplete and total garbage imho), but the old.reddit.com still functions and gives you the exact same content without the hassle of the modern site. Just not as nicely formatted for mobile...

But it is only a matter of time till they get rid of it too.

Old is next, no fucking way is that shit surviving the rest of the year.

A year isn't a long time, and old Reddit doesn't have much traffic

You also have to be logged in, in order to automatically use old.reddit.com (without an extension to auto-route links back to it, at least). I know because when I used reddit in...erm, private mode, it would always route me to the new, awful ui which didn't support RES.

From what I tested, that is a problem with Chrome itself. That problem does not seem to exist on default Firefox for Android, default Edge for Android, or even even default brave for Android.

Then again, why bother in Reddit's case when majority of people use Chrome?

Don't have anything iOS to test. But the problem could exist on Safari, but without iOS I couldn't say.
