Reddit is NOT FINE. They throw up full page modals now telling you to continue in the app.

Soon we'll realize that the experience of using reddit (and other mainstream social media) differs a lot based on what country you're in, and sometimes even the state.

For example, seemingly a bunch of places in Europe/elsewhere has disabled old.reddit.com unless you're logged in, but seemingly a bunch of people in other places can use it just fine. I'm sure what both of you are seeing is both correct, there is just something changing the experience that gets served to each of you.

    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.

First time I've ever seen it. No clear way to bypass it either.

I think it’s a push for either more tracking through login or to push people to more addictive features like endless scrolling and autoplaying videos.

It went into effect 2 months ago, there is no bypass for it by design.
