You can still visit - and scrape - the new Reddit without logging in, so the scraping is obviously just an excuse for what everyone saw coming from the start: the gradual complete shutdown of old Reddit.

Actually new reddit page source doesn’t load comments anymore. You need to execute JavaScript in the page for comments now. Old reddit still gives you a simple page with comments, so probably why they made it login only. You can’t legally scrape pages behind login because you agreed to their tos by logging in
