Why Reddit blocked my daily visit to its mobile website

Reddit is testing a block on some mobile-web visitors to push them toward the app, especially people who are not logged in.

Affected users may regain access by clearing cookies or signing in, but the test has frustrated many Redditors.

The move has drawn criticism across Reddit forums and media coverage as another example of platform-driven app conversion.

It could make Reddit less accessible for casual open-web browsing and shift more users into the mobile app.
