it seems to be part of the general hostility corporations have toward, well, humans.. like you say, developers seem to be pushing every limit they can to try to get in your face, or chain you to them for life, and they don't seem to have a lot of incentive to back the fuck off.. i am completely fed up with all of them.. like you, i have a hostile attitude in return..

What app or tech is badgering you? I feel like with standard android and pop! OS I have zero complaints. Everything just works

Agreed. This is relatable AF.

Part of this is a symptom of support demands from users. There has been an expectation in software development historically, back from when software was always hideously expensive and limited to companies as users, that errors would be fixed by someone on demand ASAP. We're all familiar with the IT guy "file a ticket first" signs on offices, or the idiot executive's demands for a new computer because they filled theirs with malware somehow.

But now a lot of what software did is web-based and frequently free/freemium. But the customer's expectations of having their issue fixed ASAP remains. Despite the internet being far from a standardised system of completely intercompatible components. So updates and fixes need to continually be deployed.

And that's great for most people, until that expectation extends to the creation of new features, from management and end users alike. Then things start getting pumped out half-finished-at-best because you can just fix the MVP later, right?

We're going to get to the backlog sometime... right? We don't need to keep launching new features every quarter... right?

I always give them a 1 star rating for disrespecting user intent.

THANK YOU. I'm glad others are noticing this and getting fed up with it.

No means no, damnit.

Why use that corpo crap to begin with.
