One thing I can't firgure out is why reddit is pushing me to use their app when the site is better. I dont even understand why they want to.

  A reason might be because it's harder to block ads in an app than it is in a browser?

    As far as I know it isn't possible to block ads inside the Android Chrome browser? Only way to do that is using your own DNS, but that would work both on native and progressive apps. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to block ads inside my Chrome browser.

      It's not possible in Chrome on Android, but it is in Firefox.

      Ah right. I don't know about Android, but it's possible on Safari on my iPhone.

    Idk, it actually prompted me to download a new browser to try to block the 'ads' for their app.

  You get more ad targeting and messaging powers via native apps than web apps.

  I doubt that's going to last much longer now that they're rewriting the whole website, or at least I hope that's the case. (see the huge pro/contra CSS discussion)
