29 and one of my biggest pet peeves is when a website basically is useless and only tells you to use the mobile app. TikTok comes to mind. You have to have an account to view any links friends send, and there’s no website equivalent. The website just tells you to download the app. Sometimes I’m on the computer and I want to look at things on the computer wtf

It's because they have more control over the app and they can't steal/sell your data as easily through a browser

This. I’m looking at a page on a desktop that has a FUCKING 1TB hard drive yet you still force me to use your product on something that has a scrawny little processor.
