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.

    Wow, I am surprised they would go this far if I’m honest. Are they actively trying to piss off literally everyone?

      They are relying on technology illiterate investors not understanding what the issues are.

        But even those guys will ask for user numbers, and if those are not steadily growing, Reddit’s net worth suffers massively. Potential for steady growth and montarization are the only metrics investors care about.
