Creating an account is not free. It costs 1-2 minutes of your time (assuming no errors, I just tried it and never got the phone number confirmation code, in this case I paid with my time and got nothing, this risk also has a price) and that a record will exist between your name and a list of all the images you’ve viewed and liked, millisecond accurate measurements of when you opened the app for and how long etc. for the next century, probably more. I don’t know how to price such a record not existing and different people price it differently but it does have a price.
- charcircuit 4y ago>It costs 1-2 minutes of your time Sure, but this is a 1 time cost and most people already have an account. I'm sure it also takes several minutes to set up your internet or phone too. >and never got the phone number confirmation code Are you potentially using a phone number from a service like twilio instead of your actual phone number? VoIP and related numbers are usually banned because they are mostly used by malicious users. Keeping track of the posts you've like is a feature of the app. Personalization is also another feature of the app. Tracking the time you have the app open is why you can see your screen time and how you can set screen time limits. These are features which users find value. If you don't want this data to last a century you can just delete your account and your data will be deleted too.
