why does Reddit want us to use the official app so badly? (lemmy.world)

They don't even want you to use the website I don't think. They've even done experiments where they blocked people from using the mobile website. The more they want me to use their app, the more I want to avoid Reddit all together.

Yeah. Twitter was already a financial disaster before the Musk buyout. There's a reason the board pushed the sale on him when he tried to back out. We're in a tech-bust era where it's not enough to dangle the new shiny in front of investors, profit be damned. Who's to say that reddit will do any better?
