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

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.

Just to comment about blocking people on phones using browsers... My android Firefox' division of privacy fighters says 'hi' (uBlock, Privacy Badger, Ghostery).

While I'm using these addons, Reddit website can't spam ads or get data to sell.
