It just shouldn’t need to be the case that I sacrifice privacy for convenience.
Years ago shopkeepers asked you what you wanted and then they went and got it and packaged it for you. Then it became the better option to let you choose your own items and we’d just deal with the shopkeep to pay. This way more people were served simultaneously and everything went quicker. Imagine if you had to tell the shopkeeper the last time you cranked yourself or what size your living room is in order to progress to this more efficient process.
Yeah that makes it a bad app, they removed a huge feature that makes it difficult to get less privacy conscious people over to it and it is focused on gimmicky features instead of.qualoty of life improvement. It is annoying to be missing easily implementable features that would not impact privacy.
I still use it for the better part of a decade but I think it is a bad app for what it is trying to do.
Im in the eu and I did it one transaction. I was asked into a room for privacy due to the amount so I could put it away.
For the record I ws dodging taxes and was not inconvenienced.
