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.

I wouldn’t say user, since there’s a good chunk of people who rely on reddit for the answers of their google search questions. But yeah, you have a point.
Google is pretty useless now. I do the same really, search reddit, and duckduckgo.
