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.

    Mobile platforms need an effective way to block data hoovers. There is a reason everything is an app now and that is that mobile platforms aren’t safe.

      I have been wondering why there isn’t a kind of proxy sandwich filter app (a privacy wrapper) that can intercept and respond to certain functions or IP’s with a generic or random response if it fails without it. Like a sandboxed ublock and fingerprint randomizer and DNS filter with a proxy on both ends so it can’t touch your stuff unless you want it to.

        The long and short is that ad companies own the internet now.

        Doing something like that would be feasible until the app developers don’t counter it, and then it devolves into an arms race, but the OS you’re developing for and the browser is owned by an ad company.

        It would be the Manifest V3 situation on steroids.

        Newpipe does similar to this in a way. They scrape YouTube and only give you what you want, nothing else.
