I don't disagree that the customer needs to be more aware, but the gym analogy doesn't quite work. The risks of dropping a 100kg weight on yourself are much more transparent than an app sneakily loading unnecessary data and not caching it.
- ehnto 10y agoYeah it does seem that analogy isn't holding up. Perhaps a better analogy is monthly gas bills. It isn't immediately obvious how much running the gas hot water service will cost, but some cursory research would point you in the right direction. None the less, it is definitely a balance of transparency and I think it is fair to ask for app vendors to properly optimoze and advertise the data usage of their apps in some way.
