A friend sent me the link but I guess I’ll have to tell him to send me screenshots in the future.

old.reddit still lets me view it. For now…

        Yeah. From when I first joined reddit to until I left, I’ve never ever seen the video player actually fucking working. It’s like a McDonalds ice cream machine, always broken.

          At least there’s a reason for McDonald’s ice cream machines not working, even if it is blatant and disgusting corporate greed from Taylor Company.

              Meeh, nothing new, service menus with the full picture have been around for decades. Just download a warezed service manual for your product and you can fix it yourself.

              Same thing is happening with printers and every other piece of hardware out there that runs any kind of software on it.

              We’ve seen this behavior throught history numerous time, keeping it in the family I mean, this is nothing new. As long as people keep bying food in McDonalds and complaining how McDonalds made their son/daughter cry, they’ll keep pushing their shitty products. My son starts crying over no ice cream… son, I’m sorry, but even the king doesn’t eat something that’s not available, get used to it, that’s life.

    If you change the URL to old.reddit.com you can get past this BS and view the post anyway even without logging in. You just have to use the old version of the site which has a lot less of the stupid stuff they’ve added.

      Spez explicitly promised they wouldn’t get rid of old reddit.

      Which I took to mean they intend to ruin it by cramming all the shitty new features into it and taking away the things it does better.

      Edit: I don’t trust spez lmao I just think what he said might be a hint for how they will fuck reddit up going forward

    For the moment you can replace the ‘www’ in the page link to ‘old’ and reload. the old ui doesn’t show these annoying warnings. You can also try some libreddit instance.

    Probably just need to sign in. But if you don’t have an account already, then it’s shitty that they force you to use the app to create an account.

      They don’t. I just made a new account there a month ago using my browser and old.reddit

    This worked for me:

    • Start your own subreddit so you’re a mod,

    • mark it nsfw,

    • don’t need to post anything

    and you should be able to access any nsfw in your feed when off-app.

    Since Old Reddit will be dead soon, have a look at kddit and Eddrit. They’re like Libreddit, but not blocked (yet). However, you should try to avoid using them, as they get ratelimited quite easily.
