Potentially related is yt-dlp getting a 403 lately when downloading from Reddit. The extractor uses old.reddit.com. Hopefully they'll find a way to use the regular Reddit gateway instead.
But I can't stand new Reddit so maybe I'll take this as an opportunity to give it up entirely.
Seems strange that eBay would delist these though, given they still list items like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Cast-Iron-Jolly-African-Man...
as well as books like "Little Black Sambo". Seems like they are more interested in following the latest trends than purging their platform of objectionable content.
