Can you go into this? I'm vaguely aware of reddit having changed in this way but not super sure which rules of this ilk are now implace.
This must be why they're login-blocking some big subreddits now, the web scraping precedent that went against LinkedIn must let them know that they can't build a walled garden without making people login first.
They don't want you to use their mobile website, I don't remember any site being more hostile and anti user friendly even after saying 100 times I'm OK using browser, not an app.
Facebook messenger (messenger.com) is way more hostile; you can open it with "view desktop site", but whenever you tap the input box it focuses and unfocuses immediately, making it mostly unusable.
Is mbasic facebook still a thing (for messaging)? I'm in the fortunate position of not having to use fb messenger for most of my contacts.
Edit: despite what I said, I think the mobile reddit browser experience is horrible indeed. Usually I change the url to go to i.reddit.com instead, which is much more usable.
