Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge that an experiment preventing users from logging in to Reddit’s mobile website is done. A Reddit admin confirmed the test a month ago after a Redditor said they couldn’t login to the mobile site on iOS.

    Reddit, I’ve already quit you. You don’t need to keep trying to ruin our non relationship anymore.

    All they have to do is make their app not complete shit and people will probably start using it.

      Nah, the Redditors worth having (mods, power users, content posters and serial repliers) don’t want to grant the level of access to device and engagement info (particularly UUID and any thread tying multiple seperate accounts) that RedditApp allows Reddit the platform to aggregate and leverage.

      Anyone who uses Reddit seriously is probably long-spoiled to the niceties offered by the 3rd-party apps. I’ll enjoy watching the value of content degrade to the point its all ads and scammers/bots pumping out garbage to show nobody.
