    Why the fuck would anybody install an APP to use a website?

    (Puts on clown face) “Sure, I’ll install this program on my pocket computer from the Urban Dictionary to save the time it would take me to open a web browser and type in the URL of it, all it costs is me giving direct access to my stored personal data and real-time activities”

      The state of people blindly using apps for everything is atrocious.

      “But it saves me a 1USD on my fast food burger!”

        Fast food charges you around double if you don’t use the app. I think it’s mostly about tiered pricing. They want the money from those willing to pay $15 for a burger AND they still want the money from people who won’t pay more than $10. This way they get both.

    How else are they supposed to provide ads that are relevant to the 2.3Km/h you are walking on day 17 of walking?

    Critical data they are missing there for the advertising partners.

    :P
