I think they have some sort of long-term goal that we're not considering, and that's why they're so desperate to kill competition and channel users into an ecosystem controlled by reddit.

In 3rd party apps they can't control things like ads and "experience".
Perhaps reddit+ IS coming and the main draw they're setting up will be "ad free browsing" and "premium UI elements".

Still a brainless way of doing things, but it's reddit we're talking about...
