I can use it with a VPN but only if I have an already logged-in session.

Without a logged-in session, I can only see error messages which change randomly. Most of them seem to be either an IP range blocking page or an image with "You broke reddit" message on it.

It started for me some time ago with a “unknown user agent” or something along those lines, now it show a “funny” can we see some id? Message, no reddit i will not disable my VPN to view your everyday-getting-worst content. Good riddance, you’re going the way of “x”.

I get the "woah there" message but can't log in. The login request returns the 403 "woah there" page and the user experience is that nothing happens.

What a terrible experience.

Same experience here. Also seems that when using `old.reddit.com`, it logs you out a lot sooner than before (or in using `new.reddit.com`. It's just another layer of friction on using it.
