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.
Still blocks my vpn though
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.
