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.

    Seems like it’s a race to become the most hated platform. Twitter started a bit earlier, but Reddit is catching up really well.

      Facebook’s far worse than either of them, but as far as the Most Hated title goes, it will be fun (and grim) to see who wins that race. Although, I feel like Spez is simply selling out, and Elon is truly, more overtly, an evil fuckwit; who will keep screwing his platform out of spite far longer than Spez his out of greed. Spez played one of the last cards he could, I think.

        Yes, this exactly. Ole spez is blinded by the impending IPO and those dollar signs are blocking anything else in his mind. At this point I think he would drive Reddit into the ground just to try and get a payday. For Reddit to survive he needs to resign.

          I’m not discounting the possibility that spez himself is also evil — he’s certainly done enough shady shit. He was once a mod of r/jailbait, after all, and he (or Reddit staff) had given one of the sub’s founders a “Pimp Daddy” badge.

          Reddit will survive. Boycotts don’t work anymore because people can never organize enough to beat out the massive reach of entrenched monopolies anymore.
