for real, i never understood this xD “welcome to reddit. we’re a website, but DON’T TOUCH THE WEBSITE! USE OUR APP, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE AN APP”
Imagine having to have a different web browser for every website you visited, that’s what 80% of apps feel like. Can’t you just make a decent mobile site?
But if there’s a decent mobile website users will be able to block ads and delete cookies and then how will we track and monetize their every move?
I remember when Firefox OS was new and the “apps” were just shortcuts to web apps. I bet websites would be less annoying right now if that had caught on.
Can’t you just make a decent mobile site?
Website owner: But I’ll feel sad if I can’t have your delicious data 😞
But… But then we can’t have 2000 employees, 10 for the website and -2 for the app and 1992 to support the mental well being of those other employees.
