    I browse reddit without logging in and with an adblocker. From their perspective, I’m a parasite using resources but contributing nothing; I’m proud of that.

    It’s why I moved to Lemmy - that and completely borking the site while using most VPNs. F-that. If you can’t allow my VPN, I know you’re wrong, not me.

    because they think they can make more money that way, and they don’t care about the users even one little bit

    Im going to either get ignored, or downvoted to hell but…
    Bot control.

    Their site is the only source the website can be read/scraped and with the influx of ai scrapers ignoring all bot rules they might want to try and kill that.

    I havent seen the pop up yet, nor checked out the html dom, but i suspect they, like any website, are getting a huge influx of ai bots doing terrabytes and terrabytes of data transfers

    It was the next logical step - old.reddit still allowed unauthorized clients to work. Now the garden is fully walled, and soon it shall be paved over.

    At least they help me to beat my Reddit addiction, thanks Reddit

    They literally cut away their own ad revenue from me using their website, but hey - I can live with that. I’m definitely not creating an account over there, so Lemmy it is!

    So they get another page view every time you have to refresh to see the content behind the pop-up.

    If they wanted to force logins they’d grey out the text like newspaper websites do.
