Reddit REALLY wants you to use its app.

The company confirmed to me that it is moving in a direction that other platforms have taken: converting users to the app. Reddit says that the test aims to find out if people like me—those who use the service but aren’t generally logged in—get a better experience with the app.

    My question is what do they gain from it? And since i can’t answer the question aside from to steal my data I’m very reluctant to use apps and prefer using the browser.

      Same. Apps are mostly just data trackers now. I’m the same way, much prefer a website than an app. (Including lemmy)
