They’re not killing it, they’re monetizing it… That hinders researchers, and I guess reddit.baby anonymous users? But it’s all still available for scraping and for manually looking up which is the “normal” use case.

If you wanted access to it (and I don’t know why you would) you still have the web site and app. They haven’t even blocked search engines from accessing yet.

And keeping reddit as successful and open as possible would be the best way for reddit to support the MIC. Their users are bloodthirsty for Russians almost without exception. I’m not convinced at all of this conspiracy.
