I used to work on the notification system of a big crypto exchange before I got fired for being a shit employee lmao
Other that a few intensive purposes like Uber, TikTok, Google Maps type apps, companies only create apps and heavily push you to download them so they can shove push notifications to your phone. It's basically impossible to do 99% of that using a website (fine grained controls of what notifications, collecting analytics, delivery speed, proper scheduling, etc.) cause then you'd have to go through the browser's notification system
Yeah. I bought a TV a few months back using a store’s credit card. 12 months interest free. Sweet.
Every month I visit the site and pay that month’s amount. Few weeks back I get an email to say that I can only pay the bill via their fucking app from now on. They literally do not offer a way to pay off their card that doesn’t involve installing their app.
It’s fucking mad. I genuinely can’t work it out. The app doesn’t have ads, I don’t let it push notifications, nothing like that. It’s on iOS, so fuck knows what it can see of my shit.
