Some Reddit users have noticed that they can't sign-in to their accounts anymore on mobile, as the option to do so has been removed for them. Reddit has made it difficult in the past for users to access the site on mobile in browsers. The company's main intention is to get users to use the official Reddit application instead.

It's a natural consequence of the "enshittification" cycle: The ‘Enshittification’ of TikTok — Or how, exactly, platforms die

In other words: yeah, it's systemic, and Reddit is very likely to continue going that way. Whether it has one, big moment where users just mass abandon it or it'ss a long, drawn-out process of attrition, the end result will almost certainly be the same.
