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.
