You only know that factoid because you're an engineer and you looked it up. Users have absolutely no clue, and literally do not care.
- palata 2y ago> Users have absolutely no clue, and literally do not care When their smartphone is 3 years old and has no more storage space, they say "the smartphone is old, I need a new one". Because they don't know that this is a problem of the software industry being extremely bad doesn't mean that it has no impact on them.

- phailhaus 2y agoWhen they make up a fraction of a percentage of users. If there was any pressure from users to make smaller apps, Spotify would have done it.
- LtWorf 2y agoPhones are literally sold at different prices when they have more storage. People are familiar with being unable to install more apps or take more pictures. Happens all the time. Get out of your bubble.
