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.

Elon and Donald taught everyone that when you start being a dick, double down on it.

Love how totally out of touch with human psychology these decision makers are.

If you work really hard to gain the attention of your overlords and remain loyal for years, eventually you will be granted nothing anyways and just get shit on in the end regardless! That being said, this feels like reddit tripling down. It's ridiculous

I learned that same lesson while doing office work.
