Reddit achieves much the same effect by constantly insisting that I install the app (I never will).

Yep, in the last few days it’s become fully unusable. Niche forums are now walled with:

> Unreviewed Content — This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.

My ISP doesn’t block Reddit, but Reddit has effectively blocked me.

Enabling desktop mode usually fixes this for me. I think changing the domain to old.reddit.com also works.

But yeah, reddit is really shooting itself in the foot with this nonsense.
