I have a firefox extension to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com for the same reason. It's faster, more compact, easier to read, easier to navigate.

I believe there is no such thing as a perfect community on the internet.
There's no perfect community physically either. Utopias usually devolve into cults. And even an honest and heartfelt kibbutz has to deal with local authorities and the shit show above them. It's set theory, really. Every community is analagous to a set other than V. Since V is not Utopia, every community has poor conditions in some ancestral superset, which inevitably rain down on them.

- you can track them more thoroughly
- you can "please" them with push notifications
- you can save bandwidth by putting static assets / the framework in the app and only load content

Better control over ads and data. Technically also better for users since it's faster and more reliable than a website but being forced into it sucks.

#19Whenever Reddit, or any other website, tells me to install their app, I make sure that I never install their app. In fact other than maybe 5 or less apps, I only use a browser.
Reddit is one of a few websites that I feel dedicated app works much better than browser, but I use 3rd party one(s).
Agree on both fronts. Reddit is way improved with an app, but the official app is trash. I prefer relay, but I know that there are many other quality apps out there that folks recommend. Feel free to comment with your favorite.

The old design works well on a browser (now old.reddit). I make it a point to never use the new social network themed reddit, or it’s chat (god, why?) or the default app due to the popup when you access reddit on a mobile browser. Apollo is much better anyhow (iOS only though iirc).
