In principle I also won't use any apps, hence my comment.
Did they lose a customer?
McDonald's, Taco Bell, all of these fast food places which people are mentioning are just jacking prices, well they're already everywhere. It seems to make sense that when you've got total market penetration, the final thing to do is milk your customers for all they've got, and I think that's what we're seeing here.
They are pushing the limits until people complain. People complained, they reached the limits.
If your customer or employer isn't complaining slight about your price, you're leaving money on the table.
Same as every other org that incentives you to use channels that leak your data. They use it to extract more value from you, whether it's selling your data, buying your data from other vendors to augment their first party data, or a combination of both.
My dark dirty secret, as someone who frequents fast food restaurants, is that McDonalds is... actually not that bad, even good, and at the least it is very consistent and good value (if you use the deals, sometimes even without) and the people who think it's disgusting are just engaging in a little classism and can go home and watch Super Size Me again.
Feels…dystopian.
It also has whatever random looking @privaterelay.appleid.com Apple made when I used "Sign in with Apple" to create my McD account.
As a footnote, I don't want apps knowing my location either.
What I'd most like is an Android phone which can decide when to give apps null / blank / fake information. My location should be north pole, with an error the size of the circumference of the earth. My contacts should be blank, as should my media. If the app wants to add contacts or media, they live in the app's silo.
People who dont care will pay the higher price because they dont care.
They must be making enough money of the people who dont care, to make up for the loss of people who will pick other service
This is rarely true in Canada anymore.
