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.

Do you happen to have a screenshot of the data that is harvested? I am genuinely curious.

I don't have specific info on what's harvested, but I have had mine active for a while and I'm at 300k tracking attempts blocked in the last 7 days. It's absolutely wild.

Edited to add - they don't specify what is being attempted, just what each company is known to track generally.

Yeah, don't be shocked. Without the blocker every app makes one successful attempt and just tracks, with the blocker they attempt again and again like a hamster running against a wall.

Some apps won't work with the blocker. I tried to block Chrome and after a while none of the apps I have installed would work, until I unblocked it.

Examples: I turned on the duckduckgo protection, opened the official app and visited a couple posts.

Thank you! I can't believe that. So it basically wants to know literally everything about you. That's so disgusting and creepy. We need privacy laws that protect against stuff like this, yesterday.

I can see them requesting city, but beyond that, this is wayyyy too much.

Yea its pure insanity and greed. This is just one of many examples of why I have dual piholes on top of ad blocking extensions.
