That new URL still just goes to a login screen. I believe this is due to recent reddit policy change.

It seems that reddit has now followed Xitter with requiring logins to drive engagement numbers, effectively rejecting the open web. Extractive screw turning was probably inevitable with the naive central-server design of webapps, but going through the destruction part of creative destruction still sucks.
Hmm the new URL doesn't do that for me; whereas the previous URL did. If the links sometimes do that and sometimes don't, it's going to be hard to figure out what to do, short of banning the site. Boo.
