Reddit, like Xitter and Instagram and other popular venues of online discussion, have really been enshittified out of being good internet participants. Presumably the purpose of the post in the article is to publicize something, but the site operator has decided (for some reason I'm not prepared to work out) that I'm not allowed to see it.
At least newspapers don't have rules about who is allowed to buy them.

- jsheard 3y agoUsing a VPN? Reddit has been cracking down on them, probably because they've pivoted into selling their data to AI companies and they want to deter industrial-grade scraping which comes from the same IP ranges as most VPN providers.
- drpossum 3y agoI don't agree with reddit's decision, but you can still use a VPN if you have an account.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoIt’s dishonest to not disclose what esoteric networking / system configuration is causing this, because it’s blindingly obvious from your outsized reaction that this is the case.
- Y_Y 3y agoI'm am sorry that you were blinded by my reaction. I don't know if it counts as esoteric, but it's probably my Proton VPN connection through Germany that made the server decide not to serve the page. Whether that's "the cause" or not is a matter of opinion.
