For the next two weeks, we’re testing giving logged out redditors on the mobile web various offers and rewards if they download the app for the first time and log in to their account. This limited test will go to 25% of mobile web users.
Please please please stop doing things like this. It's exhausting getting harassed about using the official mobile app when a link I find opens in my phones browser and not the app I prefer. I have a mobile app, I don't need/want the official one.
On that same topic, please make it easier to view pages when I'm not logged in, both for the mobile experience reason above (if a link opens in some web view where I'm not logged in) and for situations where I find a link to Reddit where I don't want to be logged in (for example when I search for something at work and a Reddit discussion is a result).
I'm starting to avoid links to Reddit outside off when I scroll through the app due to these experiences getting worse.

I *have* the official Reddit app, and it's still infuriating to read Reddit links found via Google search. It keeps nagging to open it in the app, but half the time that doesn't even work, and the other half the time I just don't want to lose my place in my feed while I Googled something on the side
