If you don't mind the new UI (arguably worse than the old), you can see it:

The old UI is worth signing up for using a completely anonymous throwaway email address. You just need to verify it once, and then you never need access to the email address ever again. I don't know why people seem to find that so difficult, but they do. It's the same reason why reddit bans are a complete joke.

I've never seen anyone say they can't figure out how to access Reddit or that it's too hard so it might not be a difficulty thing and instead the rejection of the ux forcing them to log in before they see the content that was previously accessible and that was posted on Reddit (compared to a competitor) under that assumption.

The issue here is that they've changed Old Reddit to require a login going forward.

Sounds odd. Works just fine for me. I'm blocked if I disable it, but can access when I enable it.

Yes, it's a shame. It's in part due to scrapers and AI. There's a wealth of relevant knowledge inside Reddit, and agents aren't able to easily check there for updates on recent topics.

It has nothing to do with that, scrapers can still scrape new reddit. This is just a hostile action to move visitors to a site that shows more ads.

Not a moral judgement, just it was good before and now it sucks. Just my opinion, the horror!

How ironic. The reason you can't read the comment:

"> The big milestone is when computers can read and understand information like humans do. There is a lot of work going on in this field - Google, Microsoft, Facebook, academia,... Right now computers don't know how to represent knowledge so they can't read a text book and pass a test."

Is because reddit is threatened enough by "computers that can read and understand information like humans do" the he's locked out of it!

I logged in just to share the entire comment for you:
