Make Me Dependent On The App Device
It's all about making me the user FEEL DEPENDENT on the app.
Not singling any one out, but I can name 4 here in alphabetical order:
Alphabet Google, the CEO of this company (Sundar Pichai in 2025).
Apple Inc., the CEO of this company (Tim Cook in 2025).
Meta Facebook, the CEO of this company (Mark Zuckerberg in 2025).
Microsoft Corp., the CEO of this company (Satya Nadella in 2025).
So they prompt me to sign in and leverage me to stay signed in, using dark patterns, in order to use their apps/devices/services.
Dark patterns means, for example, a popup where there are only two choices "Yes" or "Maybe later".
So they prompt me.
And then also. The CEO of each of these 4 companies, approves of the following:
- Make it so that the device and the app prompts to save logins.
- No, more than that. Make it so the device and the app BY DEFAULT DOES save logins. Put an option in the settings somewhere for the user to opt out of saving logins.
Also either prompt, or turn ON by default all of the following:
- share your gps location
- share your address book contacts
- share your search history
- share your photos and videos
Also make montages of your photos and videos and label them as 'memories' thus the corporation assumes ownership of my memories.
BARF!!! I want to throw up I am SICK of this!!!
well i was going to claim this wasn't a rant, but, it turned in to one.
But back to the non-ranty point of this.
The point of the saved logins, the point of the sharing private contacts and private photos, the point of the dark-patterns-ransoming prompts.
Is to make me the user FEEL DEPENDENT on my device / app.
So I FEEL like I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT this (Alphabet / Apple / Meta / Microsoft) device or app.
And it is scary dude.
And I see why this is good for the app / service provider. If I feel like I can't do without the app/ device/ service.
Then therefore I will renew payment for the app / device / service.
+ I'll update my monthly subscription to pay for cloud data storage.
+ I'll buy the new smartphone device model every 4 years, instead of just every 20 years.
+ I'll keep using the free (but with periodic ransom popups and ads) email service for another month.
+ I'll keep using the online forums app (gathering my personal tastes interests data, also with periodic ransom popups and ads) for another day.)
In conclusion, big corporations that provide apps and devices, are constantly leveraging logins, and data, and account access, in order to try to keep me the user, using their device, using their service.
