I agree with you, except for the word 'subtly'. It's not subtle at all.

I see it as a feature. Using Facebook's deliberately shitty mobile interface with Firefox Focus, which clears cookies every time I close a browser tab, helped me to kick my Facebook habit by making it too inconvenient to check except for a specific purpose. I now log in about once a month.

Well, it still works, but the UX is terrible, and usually one has to reload the page after something like 20 clicks or so because it stops responding or UX elements disappear.

So yeah, not really that subtle, I agree.

For me recently it hasn't worked at all for example -

I'm signed into reddit on the webapp, I click a link on the front page, it renders the page, then overlays a popup saying "this page is only available in the app"

and despite having the app, clicking "open in app" takes me to the apple store, so really I can only reliably use reddit if I start my reddit "session" in the app
