I deleted my account and was in read-only mode for since they switched from old design. Now encountered this for first time. Time to abandon my habits

That’s the symptom of enshittification I hate the most: killing access for users without account

    Yup. Reddit is doing everything they can to say “Stop using our site! We don’t want you here!” I remember how good the site used to be… it’s a shame that it has become so terrible; but as you suggest, now it takes no willpower at all to break the bad habit, so that’s nice.

      that was thier plan when the purge users last year, now that they are running out of data to scrape fro AI purposes, they are trying to force lurkers to login now so they can mine more data now. i dont see them backtracking on any of the aggressive ai moderation, filters, and they lost alot of users with multiple accounts when they indiscriminately banne people. i heard people mostly lurk there now, because they were burned by reddit banning thier account, they dint want to risk getting banned so they lurk instead.
