exactly this. i have written about this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41529783 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41529783 some people just do not understand that there are interactions that are forced on us and that refusing to participate is only to our own disadvantage. even if they allow you to participate without installing that app, you will always be second class. people will forget to copy you on messages, or not see messages you sent. and they will have a grudge because you make them do extra work. they will leave you out on things that are optional, or not vote for you when electing a parent representative. they will reject you for not being a team player. the irony is that as a software developer i would not hesitate to create such an app. surely my app is better than the alternatives. and the TOS of my app is fine. oh wait, my boss changed the TOS without asking me. ooops.
