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…
Reddit has become full garbage.
To be fair, its been shit for a real long time.
We all just put up with it far longer than we should have.
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.
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.
There’s also browser extensions like “old reddit redirect”. They ensure you’re always on the good version of reddit.
Or Reddit Enhancement Suite
It’s probably best to not recommend RES anymore it’s been in maintenance mode for around 2 years and is no longer being maintained. Honestly I’m amazed it has been become broken and unusable yet.
It’s a data harvesting company now.
I can highly recommend rdx for browsing reddit without an account
old.reddit will be killed off before the ipo in March
mark my words
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
lololol wouldn’t be the first time by far he’s broken an explicit promise
Like Facebook making you get messenger. No thanks
That was the start of my end of using Facebook for sure
Same. Then in 2020 I did a full stop when I saw my mom post some unhinged conspiracy bullshit
Or use Rdx
Does old.reddit.com not resolve anymore?
