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.

can't they just change the mobile browser experience in the way that the shareholders want? i don't understand forcing people into the app

App can mine more data which is the real product.

The way reddit is behaving, if they think anyone is going to let their dirty lil mining app on their device, they're drunk.
