var oldReddit = window.location.protocol + "//" + "old.reddit.com" + window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash;
window.location.replace (oldReddit);
Edited so it still allows image preview, because old.reddit' one is broken now.
Just change your view to desktop viewer.
They have done this for years now - this is not new.
You can open as a desktop page and it works... Or you know... Old.reddit
yeah, i mean, why do you think we're using this platform right now
What happens if you replace "www" in the URL with "old"?
They might not have the block there
old.reddit.com/r/whatever
Lmao that's so shameless
And just intellectually dishonest. It makes no sense that it's OK to view the same content in the app but not on the web.
I didn't read all the comments here so someone else may have suggested this but for my android when I'm met with this I can open the browser options and choose desktop site to bypass it. Still annoying but every once in a while I need info goddamnit
This is nothing new. Theyve been doing this for quite a while now.
