Not quite forced registration: it can be dismissed by clicking the "x" in the corner (cropped out of this screenshot -- EDIT: There might not be a way to dismiss it in all of the variants; see comment below).
Also, it's part of an A/B test and is not universal.
Probably pretty well, I still find ways to avoid it. I have yet to register. I am more likely to register on websites that don't pester me than on websites that do.
Just append '?share=1' at the end of every quora link in your browser(I admit its easier to append on my computer than on my mobile), and it should remove the modal registration window that prevents you from seeing the content.

Just making a copy of this for when you delete your account/messages. Thanks!
I use Reddit daily, but I don't log in when I browse at work so I ended up getting this message last week. It was dismissed immediately, so I wasn't too irritated (unlike Quora's system which bothers me constantly because their digest emails open in my browser rather than their app, where I am logged in).
It looks like you would still be able to read the remaining content if you click "continue" instead of "log in"? I'm not entirely sure why reddit would insist on users creating accounts, anyway, since (last I checked, at least) you can create an account without providing any real information: just a username and password. Not even email is required.
Yes, registering is so easy I end up registering from each device and promptly forget the account name and password instead of trying to remember my account. Also adds a bit of isolation against tracking.
To be honest, I may just no longer be in the target user population or something. Which is fine, it happens. It seems like none of the recent decisions have added value to the site for me.
* Changing links to be affiliate links -- doesn't apply to me at all
* Making their own baby imgur --had to happen, but doesn't have a real value-add for me personally lots of times I don't realize if I'm on imgur or the new reddit one unless imgur's dumb cat paw advertisement comes up
* Mobile app -- way too late. I mean I've had the other ones installed for years at this point
and so on. I think the last feature that I was like "oh that's cool!" about what the Coinbase integration to quickly give gold to a post
This originates from Quora and has been copied by many such as Facebook or Pinterest, etc. It's horribly annoying, but I guess there are statistic data to back it up (increase signing up by X percent?)

It's either not there anymore or it's not there for everyone.
I don't think so...

So for instance, if a given strategy is statistically effective, they are quite likely to discard your individual trust and good will.

I... don't see that as a feature, more a kick in the sack.
I know of one friend that refuses to use it at all because of this as well.
