Why in the world does every store, every service, every organization need an "app"?

What is wrong with having a decent, functioning website?

I do not want to read, buy, organize and research things in an "app". I want websites. I mean, why do we have those big screens, right?

I hate, hate, HATE apps. I hate having to use my phone.

Why is everyone trying to make me use a tiny screen, a crappy "keyboard" with minuscule keys, and insists that is progress?

I think they assume it will trap you into using their service more or buying from them more since you went to the trouble of downloading and setting their app up. I only do this for companies I already like and intend to keep using. With the others, if they don't have an accessible website that's easy to navigate, I move on.

@crcollins @Firlefanz There's also the issue that a number of websites throw a fit if you access via a VPN or if you have ad blockers. I just ignore them now.

@MyricaGale @Firlefanz

Oh yeah, there have been some sites that complain about my ad blocker. Or the ones that demand my email for viewing their content. I don't return to those sites.
