got the notification to verify my age when trying to access NSFW posts or profiles already for a few weeks now, but as of today my whole account is blocked unless I verify. I guess that’s it then. Based in Austria btw, so there is no specific law in place that forces Reddit to implement this and I will definetly not give my personal information to Persona, a company that belongs to Peter Thiels Palantir group.
You need to remember there’s addiction involved too. That will cause people to accept more awful than they normally would.
the new UI is the doom scroll addiction nonsense, that reddits is tried to force.
