Why Reddit blocked my daily visit to its mobile website?

That “open in app” wall feels way less like UX and way more like “please log in so we can track you properly.” The daily-visit thing makes me suspect you’re getting bucketed as a “new” user over and over (private mode, aggressive content blockers, iCloud Private Relay-ish setups, etc.), and then you hit whatever experiment/throttle they’re running.

I’m not 100% sure what Reddit’s doing specifically, but I’d try one boring does Reddit stay logged in / remember any prefs between visits on mobile web? If it forgets you every time, you’re basically showing up as a fresh device daily, and sites get extra pushy about the app in that mode. If it does remember you, then yeah… could just be an A/B test or a straight “mobile web gets the wall” policy they’re rolling out.
