You can try to ask in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com for alternatives, if they’re usually paid. I found alternatives for sites providing piano sheets by asking anyway :)

I get that this probably revolves around saving money and not developing a full website and app, but man do I hate it.

No, it revolves around showing you more ads.

Someone had to go to the effort to detect a mobile browser and force them into the app.

Detecting a mobile browser is easier than making every feature on your site mobile responsive, and confirming its a good mobile experience. Every add they show in the app could be shown in the browser, though I guess they would get access to notifications if that’s the case.

Also easier to get tracking info through installed apps. Ultimately, yes, money.

That would surprise me. Most platforms throw permission dialogs whenever an app gets too nosy. If it was a free app, I could see it being forced because it would be harder to block ads.

When a company pushes you towards their official app, it’s almost exclusively so that they can mine more of your data without your explicit consent

It’s gotten worse recently - previously I could dismiss that and still see the whole tab. Now after seeing visiting a few tab pages, it prevents me from seeing any on mobile. Switching to private browsing works, but gosh it is annoying!

UG has gotten terrible in their funding funnel. It’s pretty much just a straight drop into a wallet squeeze at this point.
