Reddit tries way too hard to funnel people into their app, which I assume gives them more options for uncontrollable ad spam.
Dark patterns that constantly advertise apps really need to go.
On mobile I prefer the desktop Reddit site due to high link density and the fact that, frankly, browsers are BETTER because of trivial pinch/zoom/scroll, opening in new tabs, etc.
Instead, Every Single Time I visit Reddit I have to deal with a stupid loading animation, then a massive message covering half my phone screen giving me only two options (App or Mobile Site), just so the page will load to the point where I can use the Request Desktop Site command. The experience sucks now, and if they make it worse I will simply stop using Reddit instead of hopping on board.
