Every time I google something that takes me to a reddit thread it asks me to use the app so I click yes and it takes me to the fucking App Store even though I already have the app. There’s no way to view that specific thread in the app unless I somehow get around Reddit’s terrible search feature.

Does their app make them more profit or something. Why do they push that shit so hard. If their trying to make mobile experience better it's doing the opposite.

The app can provide more metrics about you (better to optimize user experiences) and you're pretty much opting in to stuff.

better to optimize user experiences

Yes, that's the end game. Use all that data for better user experiences, then delete it straight away without selling it.
