Hmmm... any other day I'd think that I need archive.today to get past reddit's login wall to read that.

You wouldn't have, if I could get out of the habit of posting old.reddit links.

And, indeed, you can use archive.today to get past the login wall:

(If one’s ISP can’t access archive.today, I find that Firefox’s built in free VPN can usually access them)

Or, you can use on of the various Reddit scrapers, e.g:

Here’s a list of Reddit scrapers:

Personally, as scummy as archive.today is at times, I can generally trust them to have an honest archive about, say, someone’s drunk post before said drunk deletes the post.
