Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

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.

The worst part of that is reddit is the only way to get good Google results anymore. I'm concerned about how bad google search will be.

My bud was asking me about what I'm going to do now. I said I'll search for stuff for work and use reddit if I don't find it on stack overflow... Lol. (Software dev). That's probably the extent that reddit will ever see me again.

It's already bad with the blackouts. Maybe Bing will finally have its day in the sun lol

Was trying to do a character creation D&D session yesterday with the D&D subs dark, and it was bleak, man.

I've switch primarily to DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine. The results are akin to what Google once produced.
