Google's AI summaries have reduced traffic to websites from the search results page and Reddit is reconsidering the benefits of the deal, the Journal said.
I used to do old.reddit/RES and list of subs I wanted to follow to lurk, but then reddit killed off old.reddit for people who aren’t logged in this week.
And the regular reddit interface looks so ugly with how little content it shows in comparison. Switched to a redlib instance and set UI to wide and compact, but still miss RES with old.reddit. But, not enough to login with an account to use reddit.
On Android I was using Stealth just to get feed of subs I’m interested in, but it is dead now because it relied on old.reddit to retrieve stuff. And it hasn’t been updated to work with redlib. So I’ve just been using redlib in browser.
I still can access old not logged in which is interesting considering all I’m hearing on here. I’m not doubting but why am I getting around it?
And I agree, the reg interface is hot garbage, idk who could use that seriously. I can only use Lemmy “old” or I wouldn’t be on here. Be like Craigslist, don’t mess with something that works, right?
I don’t do mobile so I have no opinion there. My phone is a phone and SMS. Might use it to look up store hours if I’m not home. In fact in town I never have it on me, drives friends/family/work insane.
As for having an account I get ya, they have perm banned at least 40 of mine and the new system is effective, sort of. I have one active right now, its more to see if I could get around it and I did. I have 3 or 4 other ideas I would like to try if I was motivated and I’m not…
Oh I have a thought on forcing to the new UI, I have had to replace www. with old. on some links. Give it a try?
What happened for me was the regular method stopped working so I was using the web scraping method for a few weeks, but then that stopped working completely. Does old.reddit still work for you on your internet?
That was when the web scraping method stopped working for me on Stealth.

Here’s a reddit link of other reddit people talking getting login prompt if they try to use old.reddit.

Oh I wasn’t doubting its happening. I was wondering why I can still access .old when logged out?
And with that link I replace “www” with “old” and it goes to the old UI.
Maybe its RES? My plugins? I highly doubt both, but its weird.
I have RES too. Maybe cookie? I do have my browser delete cookies on exit.
No on this login in its all generic for browsing, thats maybe why. I’ll try my other machines/logins to see if it follows.
Stealth is still working for me. Its slowly breaking down, but i can still scroll me favorite subs. Currently use reddit (web scraping) as the source

old reddit would not come up for me at all on a cloud browser on a vpn for a few days–but today it does for some reason. (Still won’t let me log in.)
eta: spoke too soon; it just kicked me out
Doesnt even show old.reddit as a possible source. Only reddit, web scraping or teddit instances
Web scraping relies on old.reddit. Pops up when you select it.
