Logged-out Old Reddit access is “significant source of abusive scraping."

    I don’t get it… isn’t that what they were already doing? I have to log in and reset reddit to lesscrappier.reddit every damn time.

      I’ve manually gone to old.reddit on mobile for years because the normal site blocks scrolling to advertise the app after a bit.

      I’ve had an extension on desktop that redirects all reddit urls to old.reddit for even longer, since it comes up in search results so much.

      Neither of these require being logged in today.
