Old.reddit.com no longer works for logged out users

Used old.reddit.com for ~10 years with no problem to get around the "new" UI, including yesterday. Come today, and there's a unavoidable pop-up saying it's for logged-in users only.

So much for being anonymous and reading old.reddit.com?

Try using https://github.com/mkornreich/old_reddit to browse Reddit with the old reddit layout while logged out

It's simple, if I can't access old.reddit without a login, then I don't access reddit at all.

My money is it won't be long before old reddit is deprecated altogether.

Likewise. I can't help but wonder how many people they're expecting to switch to enshittified reddit or to log in after this change. Maybe 1% will?

I'm not installing a browser plugin. I'll just take a vacation until there's an xcancel-like solution.

It's like just the old reddit accounts that use it, and they just don't care about us anymore. It's all about that ad money and tracking.
