Used old.reddit.com for ~10 years with no problem to get around the "new" UI, including yesterday. Come today, and there's a unavoidable pop-up saying it's for logged-in users only.

It's simple, if I can't access old.reddit without a login, then I don't access reddit at all.
My money is it won't be long before old reddit is deprecated altogether.

So much for being anonymous and reading old.reddit.com?

It's a sad day. The end of an era.
