As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

      Fine by me. I’ve never had a problem taking my business elsewhere when the management got uppity.

      Haha, only serious. The Reddit service they provide to users is the ‘loss leader’. If they could serve ads and collect user data without providing any service (which costs them money) they would.
