Reddit is going to force you to log in to use old Reddit.
The logged-out experience on old Reddit is “a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform,” a Reddit admin (employee) says. The company will start requiring anyone who wants to use it to log in “over the next month.”
The admin adds that Reddit “can’t promise” that old Reddit “will be around forever,” though CEO Steve Huffman said last year that the company will figure out how to keep it online “as long as people are using it.”
