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. The are actually going to BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

    We’ll have to see whether the average user pays attention to any of this, or not.

    Either way, pushing away the hardcore crowd will hurt them long term.

      I wouldn’t say user, since there’s a good chunk of people who rely on reddit for the answers of their google search questions. But yeah, you have a point.
