It’s worth noting that this post was from last month before they announced the usurious pricing of the API. However the fact that they were doing this does not bode well for people (like me) trying to avoid using their horrendous app.

Tiring to see reddits downfall due to corporate greed, just as so many other sites in the past. Honestly surprised old.reddit is still around, seeing how they certainly dont like users using anything but their own inferior app. While spez said it wouldn't go anywhere I have my doubts about that.
This just proves it's not about pricing, just unwillingness to let users choose.

What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!
Of course they are, gotta make everyone use the shitty app to farm as much data as possible!
A few weeks ago, Reddit stopped the one usable mobile interface (.compact). Since then, I stopped visiting Reddit on mobile apart from a few moments of trying out miserable 3rd party apps.
What an amazingly hostile move. It's finally pushed me to delete the mobile app altogether.
I think they are just trying to get rid of people that care at this point... Lol.
Can't you just change the browser's ID string and make it look like it's not a mobile browser?

The experiment just being if you quit?
As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left
