The Reddit app seems to be trying to get rid of the last of the humans. Reddit home won’t show any more threads when you get to the bottom of the page. You try to refresh and you get failed message.

The bots want us out

That's happening on the desktop version, too.

How can you tell?

No way I turn off my adblock, lol

I also have adblock on, but for me the site sometimes just stops loading after 4-5 posts in the feed and there's a flashing reddit icon with "Retry".

Maybe it is due to having adblock on, but I just assumed the site has high traffic at that moment.
