Anyone why they try to get users into their app so hard? I mean if people are logging anyway tracking them is feasible on the web too.

Monetization.

You can't use an ad blocker (easily) in an app, so they get to show you ads.

If you decide to buy reddit gold (or whatever they're calling it now), then they get the money from that instead.

It's Reddit premium now, and they more than doubled the price :(

Yes, it's because an app lets them get more information about you than a website. Even if you don't give an app any permissions (which many people will do anyway).
