[Addison-Stavlo]

Part of # https://linear.app/a8c/issue/CML-459/reader-discover-page-logged-out-users-are-directed-out-of-reader-when / #101686

Proposed Changes

• Removes logged out check from showSelectedPost util, so we will no longer redirect out to the external blog when not logged in.

Why are these changes being made?

• Prompt logged out users to signup/login and use the full reader features.

Testing Instructions

• Go to the reader logged out
• Click a post in a stream, verify you are not directed to the blog but signup/signin
• after signup/signin, verify you are on the full post view of the post you clicked
• Test clicking cards logged in, verify no regressions.

Pre-merge Checklist

• Have you tested the feature in Simple (P9HQHe-k8-p2), Atomic (P9HQHe-jW-p2), and self-hosted Jetpack sites (PCYsg-g6b-p2)?
• Have you checked for TypeScript, React or other console errors?
• Have you used memoizing on expensive computations? More info in Memoizing with create-selector and Using memoizing selectors and Our Approach to Data
• Have we added the "[Status] String Freeze" label as soon as any new strings were ready for translation (p4TIVU-5Jq-p2)?

Here is how your PR affects size of JS and CSS bundles shipped to the user's browser:

Sections (~18 bytes removed 📉 [gzipped])

name    parsed_size           gzip_size
reader       -102 B  (-0.0%)      -18 B  (-0.0%)
home         -102 B  (-0.0%)      -18 B  (-0.0%)

Sections contain code specific for a given set of routes. Is downloaded and parsed only when a particular route is navigated to.

Async-loaded Components (~18 bytes removed 📉 [gzipped])

name                                                 parsed_size           gzip_size
async-load-design-blocks                                  -102 B  (-0.0%)      -18 B  (-0.0%)
async-load-calypso-components-web-preview-component       -102 B  (-0.0%)      -18 B  (-0.0%)

React components that are loaded lazily, when a certain part of UI is displayed for the first time.

Legend

What is parsed and gzip size?

Parsed Size: Uncompressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much code needs to be parsed and stored in memory.
Gzip Size: Compressed size of the JS and CSS files. This much data needs to be downloaded over network.
