Why Reddit blocked my daily visit to its mobile website

Reddit's aggressive anti-scraping measures now punish even loyal users, as one daily visitor hit a mobile visit limit that blocked access entirely. The platform's rate limiting, designed to curb bots, incorrectly flagged a legitimate user after just a handful of visits, exposing a flaw that impacts over 20% of regular mobile readers in testing. This error rate is twice as high as the average social media platform's false-positive rate, and it contrasts sharply with #7's canary traps, which precisely target malicious actors while sparing genuine users.
