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.
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
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.
Thanks! Confirmed that it works with old reddit, just doesn’t work at all for me using regular new layout, which sucks anyway.
replace ‘www’ with ‘old’ in the address and it’s fixed.

I’ve been using a VPN with an account recently. Works fine.
Yes they do. The block is intermittent on Reddit, but it does occur frequently enough to be obvious they are trying to keep their user dta drsgnet uninterrupted under the guise of “stopping bots”.
