Not saying it's a good thing but I'm sure that's what I've been getting for ages when trying to click into a Ukraine war report post, it makes me try to prove I'm 18.

Naturally as I intentionally don't have an account on reddit, that's not going to happen

You can bypass that easily by using old.reddit or one of the third party frontends, also has the side effect of making the site much more readable.

Want to add that there's browser extensions that do this for you. It makes life so damn easier, especially as so many Google searches link to a reddit answer.
