Is it arguably better privacy-wise to use Reddit through its API, rather than old.reddit.com, given the latter can still employ behavioral tracking (e.g. how long you hover over a post) ? If you were to use the API, they would only see that you’ve fetched posts, upvoted something or fetched the comments under a post.
