Yeah I completely agree. They are just making the platform worse and less profitable for everyone.

They should have just taken a percentage of profits from the apps to allow them api access.

If they were worried about llm they could have restricted api access.

It’s clear they just want to mine and sell your data by you having their app.

There is no way I’ll have their app on my Phone.
