>1. Parking apps are worse than parking meters. The customers for these apps are the parking lot operators and they love the apps. > 2. Tinder is worse than IRL speed dating. It is now, it definitely wasn't when it first came out. Prime example of enshittification, but not an example of what you're conveying. > 3. Duolingo is worse than language classes. This one I feel has the most merit, but still not a lot. What % of Duolingo users would've actually taken classes were it not for these apps? Also, some people don't learn well from classes (I'm one of them). Not that that makes Duolingo any better, but despite its pretenses it's squarely aimed at extremely shallow, casual, surface-level learning that might be useful on a holiday. And people don't take classes for that. > 4. Airline apps that are worse than just printing a boarding pass. In what way? Admittedly I've only used the apps of 2 airlines, but they worked fine.
