Link seems to be incorrect, should be: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/s/dGGy8PXAMG (www.reddit.com, not old.reddit.com)

Which is this now removed post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1fhsai3/rest_in_pea...

That had the title "Rest in peace" and contained this image: https://i.redd.it/ng75ptntl2pd1.png

Which is a screenshot of the uBlock Origin page in the Chrome Web Store, displaying the message "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.": https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpal...

Yeah you do have to reconstitute old reddit links, although I just let the script take me there. The userscript I'm using that is.

Just to be clear:

OP likely copied the this share link first and then manually replaced www. to old. . But shared link never worked with old. prefix so it broke.

Reddit may or may not want to kill old.reddit but this isn't an example of it, inb4 people are going to take this opportunity to soapbox about it.

As I understand it, HN itself automatically rewrites www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com in submitted links. This works for direct links to posts and comments, but not share links (containing "/s/" in the path) like the one for this post.
