The new Reddit page experience is really horrible. Speed slow for every action and extremely laggy. Your would think single page application is faster once all the resources are loaded from the server, but no. I started to think they purposely make the experience worse to push user to their mobile app.

> I started to think they purposely make the experience worse to push user to their mobile app. It’s been awful for so long that this has to be the reason. The constant nags to use the app support this. I don’t use reddit much these days but I noticed subreddits are now locked behind logins?! Since I long ago deleted my account I now switch to old.reddit.com to view. Desktop view on mobile but subreddits are “unlocked”.

It is probably about ads. You can't block ads as easily in a custom application verses the browser. So nudging strongly your customers to it will improve ad impressions and likely revenue.
