Absolutely not. It’s used everywhere on the web and other places.

Have or hate? You can buy lifetime licenses for word etc. The subscription gets you much more than just the software.

Watch it be some rebranded existing FOSS product 😂

So zero idea of what their software will be? 😂

SaaS serves a purpose that single purchase software doesn’t. There is room for both to exist.

it’s trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.

Ads and all 🤣

God forbid you have to pay for stuff.

But reddit asking to be paid for use of their API was the end of the world for these devs lol

“The app can still get your contacts even if the OS never gives it permission to and clearly shows that it doesn’t have access to them. Trust me bro”

Yeaaaaaaah nah.

So many apps are secretly sending anything and everything you do in the app to 3rd parties without your knowledge

This is no different to websites via browsers though, so it’s a moot point.

With an app they can do whatever they want with your data without you even knowing it.

No, they can’t, because they don’t have access to “your data”. All they can get is usage data, which they’re entitled to because you’re using their product.

They actually can’t unless you specifically choose to let them.

On iOS the only thing from the entire list on the app store that LinkedIn has access to is my photos, and I’m pretty sure it was just the single photo that I uploaded (as iOS gives you the option to do a per photo permission). Contacts? Nope, can’t access them - and the app hasn’t even requested to access them. Location? Nope. Search History? Nope.

It’s actually easier to stop their datamining on mobile than it is on the web.

I dunno, I get what they’re saying. On my phone I much rather use a native app if it’s available than a website, even if they have a dedicated mobile version. Navigation is much better, UI is better, etc.
