The reddit mobile browser is literally broken and keeps getting worse. They are updating it a lot, but I swear to god it gets worse and increasingly broken with each iteration. I actually liked the browser when they initially killed 3rd party apps, but shortly after that it got a huge redesign that was infinitely worse than before. I am thoroughly convinced they want that experience to be miserable so I go download and use their ad-infested shitty app instead. Fuck reddit.

I am confident that’s the case - there’s a reason the mobile website is constantly asking you if you’d like to use the app instead… it’s their preferred mode for you to view. Even if it is terrible, it locks you onto Reddit.

They can access a lot more information about you with a native app, and it also gives them the ability to do push notifications which makes things more sticky
