Giving an email on reddit is still technically optional, but they try to make that unclear.

During registration you can just leave the email field blank and click "Next" to skip giving one, even though there's no indication at all that it's optional.

The site also annoys you constantly now to add an email address, but you can ignore or adblock that.

"New Reddit" is basically a primer on UX dark patterns. Its collapse cannot come soon enough.

Old.reddit.com still works until they decide to remove it

Try i.reddit.com for an even more barebones experience

As far as I know, you cannot access quarantined subreddits without an account with a verified email address.
