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.

It's like watching people drill holes in a sinking boat to let the water out.

Hear me out... What if /u/spez is trying to burn it down and fuck the IPO

They are not trying to burn it down. They don't care about those who leave. Reddit wants to be the new TikTok and those who leave over stuff like this are only getting in the way.

How could Reddit ever be a new tiktok???

Steve Huffman is trying to stir up all the shit and get fired with a golden parachute, then the remaining team can blame it on him and reverse almost nothing.
