Strange that this technology wasn’t made available (or used) by OpenAI.  One assumes they’d have a vested interest in keeping their partner out of the press for rogue hacking incidents.

Doesn't really matter though they're trying everything they can to cut MSFT loose including diluting their shares

“close without registering” it’s right at the bottom - and if you don’t see it it’s because this your third or more time and that’s the limit before registering (again free).

That option doesn’t show when using from with in Reddit app. Only when opening in external browser.

Its based on IP and other factors — you just read stories in the Reddit app most likely and got your limit

Well if you’re attributing it to Reddit app use of course it’s hit its limit, but that means no one can actually read it so you’re cutting off a bunch of people. Never read this site but hit the limit opening on first attempt.

i never said it's attributing it to the reddit app? it's based off ip, device type, etc

Also the double jump when you open the page only to then show you another page when you click the back button. That website is cancer.

Link to blogs.microsoft.com announcement.

My take: I lived through the era of .NET Framework trying to make app containers a solid security boundary. It turns out that making a real security boundary is extraordinarily difficult, and eventually they had to pull back on the security guarantees.

Similarly, the UWP platform had a goal to radically improve security so people could trust app downloads. It did that, and Windows was better for it, but UWP also was explicitly not a security boundary; there were plenty of ways of evading the UWP guards.
