This is kind of a huge turning point.
It would mean reddit is discarding the biggest thing that makes it different from all the other algo-driven “engagement”-fueled social platforms.
This looks like a way to ruin reddit in the long run, half the relevant content will make it half as attractive to visit.
Why does it say BLOCKED in front of the link old.reddit.com?
The link works fine here btw.I think that Reddit blocked LW from automatically retrieving the info.
Ah yes the API shit probably.
Thanks.

8 years is by no means “really old”!!
