You can Adblock a mobile browser (sort of). That would not be at play in the app. It’s always about the cash.

That app really sucks. In fact the app that mobile sites want you to download is almost always so bad that it should be required by law to have a STEAMING PILE OF POO EMOJI on the UI element that nags you to download it.

>we’ve seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests. You will eat your peas, and you will like them, because all you will get are peas.

I always have to use old.reddit instead of www.reddit when I need to see something on that site. I won't use their app.
