And already now they force you to log in to an account to view NSFW content, unless you go to old.reddit.com.

Twitter does this too - you need an account in their frontent but the content is still accessible via API or whatever the yt-dlp ends up using.

Which is super annoying because a lot of non-porn things are also marked as NSFW.

  It would be more of an issue if there was ever a reason to not use old.reddit.com. The new Reddit is worse in every way, so it's an easy choice.

    There are user preferences accessible only through new reddit. That's the only reason I can think of to use it.

When you can go to old.reddit.com to view it, they're not actually forcing anyone.

  If you know about it, and for as long as it exists. It's also not adapted for mobile.

    This is one of the only reasons I use a chromium android build with desktop extensions enabled so I can have the old reddit redirect extension.

      Could you please share any resources on this chromium android build with desktop extensions enabled? I've been looking for something similar. Thanks!

    And yet it is much more pleasant to usenet on an iPhone than reddit.com... maybe "adapted for mobile" is overrated?

They stopped that recently i noticed. you get prompted to confirm youre over 18 without logging in required. They also got rid of that annoying "Continue this thread" linking and let you expand replies with a plus/minus icon without going to another page. It also seems like they fixed the way images are resized/shown in a post, because since the redesign i noticed you had to click 2 or 3 separate times to actually get an image without cropping or resizing, which felt so clumsy and annoying. As well as making a thread be overlayed atop with an "X" to close link at the top. That is gone for me also. Now it's actually usable like old.reddit.com is. I have no idea how they actually let that first redesign roll out it was terrible. Feels fixed now.
