It's quite irritating if you browse 18+ subreddits and they stop you from seeing content, stating you need the app to see 18+ content.

It's easily circumvented by replacing "www" with "old" in the URL, however, quite irritating nonetheless.

Ugh, imgur does this now too. The one time I don't want to be logged in is if I'm looking at something nsfw...

There are browser extensions which automatically do this.

Really? I just went to /r/gonewild on my phone (browser) to test it out. It gave me the usual "are you 18+?" message and let me proceed to all of the amateur nudity you'd expect.

(Firefox mobile, not in desktop mode if it matters).

It happens ever so often but not always -- maybe they're still phasing it in?

Yeah it only happens sometimes. They also will randomly, occasionally not let you read the comments on a post without downloading the app.

Replacing "www" with "np" also works. Functionally I believe it's identical to "old" but without voting/posting
