Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

Something like 12 years I used Reddit, but they really nailed the coffin lid shut now.

Everyone: uh, that's a lot of nails

Reddit: WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THIS HAMMERING
