  • I mean, from the sound of it, it sounds more like a poor choice of backend tech (syncing via Google Drive instead of your own server + allowing exports elsewhere) + an unwillingness to actually get certified for the required security.

    In theory, as a user, we should not at all dislike companies having to jump through more hoops to proof they’re not shitting our stuff out every orifice the moment we close an app. Of course, it being synced to Google Drive is essentially just that so I feel the added security requirements are a weeeeee bit misguided here.

    But I also don’t get why a developer would do that in the first place. It’s such a weird ghetto way of syncing your stuff to just copy a file around Google Drive. It’s what I do (well, with Onedrive) to have a synced FFXIV user settings folder. 😅 I expect professionals to do better than that, basically.




  • Well yeah, but Spotify also does more than Youtube in some ways. Like, have a minimum amount of podcasts on it (I know I know, why not use a separate podcasting app, but for the little podcasts I listen to it’s easier having it all in one app that is known to shit like Sonos and stuff), or have bands that aren’t well known in the US.

    Don’t get me wrong, I loathe Spotify, but compared to Youtube’s audio side they’re a much much better experience. Hence I would usually rate them on-par in what they should cost: With Spotify you get a better experience, with Youtube you also get ad-free videos.
