While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.

He’s probably talking about reddit They no longer allow vpn’s or any user obfuscators to browse the site
No they don’t. I use the site with a VPN often and it generally works
Are you logged in? I can’t access Reddit with a VPN if I’m not logged in
replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the address and it’s fixed.
Thanks! Confirmed that it works with old reddit, just doesn’t work at all for me using regular new layout, which sucks anyway.
I can access old.reddit.com with VPN. The new shitty layout will block you but there are browser extensions to automatically redirect. I’m never logged in since I deleted my accounts a few months ago.
instagram definitely does this, reddit seems fine for me so far
Reddit blocks access to all major VPN services (on desktop for sure) when they click a link from a search engine (maybe even navigating directly to it but I don’t do that). This has been happening for about a month now. There’s a specific page it shows that basically says “come back without a VPN.”
I don’t think it does it if you’re logged in and have cookies enabled.
Caveat: there is a simple way to bypass it, I’ll let you old.heads figure that one out.
The block is intermittent on Reddit, but it does occur.
