Tell HN: Old Reddit Now Requires Login

First I made a userscript that auto-redirects me to old.reddit, then they did this. So now I have my userscript fetch the .json version of the url, and render a minimal hackernews style UI instead of the bloated normal site.

Mind sharing the script? I am certainly not logging in just so they can track me better.
