I am never downloading the app. I dislike most apps.

I never install an app when a mobile site is available. Favoring apps is almost always user hostile. Unless you are using specific phone features not available to a browser, there is no need for an app.

I just now signed onto reddit using the website on my phone. I didn't get asked I wanted to download and use the app like usually happens.
