As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

it already requires being loggd in for about 2 weeks

Edit: the post title is also wrong. the interface is still available. you just need to be logged in

old.reddit.com has worked fine here for the past couple of weeks.

Edit: Post title fixed

maybe it was rolled out slowly over multiple regions. But it definitely started end of july. even the arstechnica post itself is alrady a week old

Maybe, seems some subreddits still work here. Not sure if testing. The article was about potential upcoming changes which I guess are nearly upon us.
