Funny how they don't even pretend there's any logic to it. If you can view it in the app, then the content has been reviewed after all...? Clearly just a way to enforce app usage.

They don't say it, but you can also go to old.reddit and there's none of those stupid warnings.

It's inconsistent for mine. Sometimes I will get in no problem, sometimes I bounce off until I change IP/location, and sometimes I get hard blocked.

They want ad revenue and the app is the only place they can be confident you’re not blocking.
