As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

typically it is easier to determine how reliable the person is from the test of the context.

sure. that's an advantage of reading off reddit.

an advantage of asking an LLM is that it can consider multiple reddit posts and stack overflow and whatever else.

you're right that there's an eternal problem of determining whether information is accurate or just confidently incorrect, but I don't think that applies exclusively to chat bots.
