View submission: What we’re working on this year
How about you stop bombarding me with messages at the bottom begging me to download your app "fOr A bEtTeR eXpErIeNcE" just because I wanted to browse Reddit through a *gasp* web browser. Also fix the video player.

Yes!!! The app is terrible man, a browser is the only way to browse. This app is trash.

Sometimes I just need to find a solution to a video game and I don’t want to open the app and have it crash 50% of the time. Not to mention when you do click on “use the app” it just takes you to the app store! Even if you already have the app! It doesn’t even work right lol

It’s so egregious it really drives me insane. What a horrible, horrible dark pattern and the Reddit devs should be ashamed of themselves.

Did you uncheck the box for "Ask to open in app" in your profile settings? It annoyed me too and haven't seen those messages since unchecking the box.

That's not going to happen as reddit is going public on the stock market very soon.
