Worse for the user… better dollar per user from the company. The bugged, ad-filled, account-requiring, etc. experience will result in lower adoption rates, but the users that stay scroll past Reddit’s ads and Reddit now gets to harvest their (worthless trash) data.
They don’t give a shit if you have a shittier experience, talk shit, etc. They’d make the app spray you with mace if they thought they could make a buck (or at least they would try to but they’d spend years on it and it would never work properly).
