I used the official app for a while but got tired of being advertised literal scams, and found the app just a bit slow. Switching to Apollo was transformational in my usage and engagement, a far better product, and would be great even with ads.
As for the site, the new redesign seems to have improved a little in the last few months, but for years it has been nearly unusable. On an Intel Mac JS was just far too slow and my fans would spin up on any Reddit page. It was like this for years.
The Reddit UX might be good enough on mobile, and might have gotten better on web, but users have been burnt hard. I know so many regular users who use alternative apps or the old site.
