I think it’s a major loss considering the SEO garbage results you get nowadays. But the fault is on Reddit for doing this to themself, don’t forget.

I already encountered this a few times while searching for something specific. Even though the protests are understandable it makes it so much harder to find information.

At least in Google Chrome, you can add “cache:” to the beginning of the reddit URL to retrieve a cached version of the site. It’s worked for most of the reddit links I’ve needed to access.

eg: cache:https://reddit.com/r/…

Seems unrelated to open source?

The irony is that Google is treated as an evil enterprise that only wants your data and yet we all willingly gave Reddit all our data and information while talking about how evil Google is.

I’ve gone looking for a few solutions to issues and the results were Reddit threads. Thanks for the cache trick, I’ll keep that in mind to hopefully continue to avoid Reddit. Ideally we have a better solution in the future that does not result in all our data being held hostage.
