As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Run your own discussion board and literally tell people about it.

I don't really have an interest in running a public board, and the reason I use(d) that subreddit was because I am also not interested in looking for the deals myself.

However, from another comment, redlib looks like a decent solution for the time being.
