Already seen some screenshots from people trying to reddit in their mobile browser, despite being logged in. Their popup had the classic 'View in App', but the 'Continue in browser' was replaced with 'Take me outta here' or something to that effect, and would take them to the previous page in their browser.

I can appreciate this distinction on NSFW content without a logged in user, because of concerns with age verification. But it seems some users were part of a selected testing group to migrate users into the app almost completely.

Considering that Firefox browser can block ads on reddit (and that browser reddit still runs better than app reddit) there's definitely pressure for Reddit to drive users to their app with a stick. They certainly don't offer carrots.
