The Reddit App opens Reddit links in an embedded web browser, then annoys you to use the app you’re already using.

Yeah, I agree, but it's not the other way around. Hobby projects can become professional products that make money, and some people earn a living working for themself and selling stuff to end customers, but that is rare.

You will rarely see a dev put in free time and creativity into make a product perfect or great, especially if the technology is shit or the project bad budget from the start.

Unless that dev drops unpaid overtime or sneaks in hours that actually should be dedicated to other projects or gives his boss some BS reason to work longer.

Mobile development is 3-6 times more expensive than web-development, especially if you have a customer that has exact expectations. The devs need a lot of freedom to deliver a quality product with the technology they are using and most of the time the customer only pays the minimum price for a shitty project.

In this case, why should reddit drop a big budget for a product that isn't making them any money?
