For months, Google has maintained that the web is “thriving,” AI isn’t tanking traffic, and its search engine is sending people to a wider variety of websites than ever. But in a court filing from last week, Google admitted that “the open web is already in rapid decline” (with regard to advertising, kinda-sorta)

Not if you put "old." before the "Reddit" into the address bar, the old UI doesn't force you to login

At least on TOR

It is a 50/50 shot for me if it makes you login with old or not
