I never install apps, and I don't have any problem with private companies offering discounts or whatever via apps. The market will do its thing.
But where I have a big problem is when my local government requires me to install apps to do basic things like parking. It would almost be okay if the apps were developed in house and were open source. But of course they're not. And anyway there's no reason they can't just be web based.
So now I just don't pay for parking and I pay the ticket if I get a ticket...
- einpoklum 2y ago> The market will do its thing. Markets' "thing" is concentration of capital and the whittling of service/product providers until just a few major ones, or a single one, is left, and then they collude on pricing, bypassing/preventing regulation, psychological manipulation of customers etc.
- grg0 2y agoYup, it will certainly do its thing.
