They don’t even want you to use the website I don’t think. They’ve even done experiments where they blocked people from using the mobile website. The more they want me to use their app, the more I want to avoid Reddit all together.

    I’m pretty sure they could serve ads from the API if they wanted. However, telemetry data would be incomplete at best. Given that they’ve outright stated that they want to create “actionable conversations” out of people talking about products they like on Reddit that data could be incredibly valuable to marketing companies and astroturfers.
