Yes. But that puts the onus back on the person to click ‘view it anyway.’

Some people are suggesting Reddit is doing this in preparation of laws suggesting that social media posts cannot be blocked at all.

Others are going the ‘all engagement is good engagement for Reddit’ idea.

Reddit’s official line is that it’s to prevent abuse of the blocking feature. Which, I mean, uh, what? A limit certainly won’t do that.

It’s all pretty dumpster fire awful that makes some subreddits unsalvageable.

But isn't that the same as "they will now still appear, but collapsed"? Or am I missing something? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:24 2
- That was the previous change. I’m not sure if that’s how it works now. Mostly because blocking seems broken completely due to the second change. -- (edited) - Qale Dec 23, 10:33 1
  - for that test, check again in 30-60 minutes. Could be a caching issue. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:41
