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.

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.

Holy shit! I did not know that!

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

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
