Meta: Can people stop linking old.reddit.com. Personally I find it unusable on mobile and have reddit.com configured to do what I want. By linking old.reddit.com you are imposing your choice on others.

I find the not-old reddit link unusable on mobile as reddit frequently blocks mobile browsers from loading, demanding they use the app for data collection purposes.

I disagree.

old.reddit.com is the proper link.

Agreed. The mobile site won't let you read all comments without logging in and has constant popups encouraging you to download the app.

TFA disagrees with you based on the presence of the following in it's <head>

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/t5ywrp/dell_scam_caller_knows_i_just_bought_a_new_dell/" />

Huh ... I didn't realize I had. To tell the truth, I'm not sure how I got an old reddit link.

HN automatically changes the URL, and I'm grateful.
