Most users of freemium apps NEVER pay a cent for the app, even after using it for years.

It's rare to see a majority of paying users. So... vast majority? I think it's easier for me to be crowned the next UK emperor, or czar, or whatever it's called.

I can't go into every other website in the world and force them to send me GPG-encrypted emails. The emails are going to arrive unencrypted.

You could use a provider that stores your emails encrypted. But when the app requests the emails using IMAP, they're coming unencrypted, otherwise the email app wouldn't be able to read it and show it to you.

If the email app gets them unencrypted... it was all for nothing. So how does it solve the problem mentioned?

The problems with the twitter app:

  • It shows ads between your tweets.
  • Sometimes it reverts back to showing you tweets selected by the algorithm instead of showing tweets from people you follow, in chronological order. And you have to change that setting again.
  • It doesn't remember the last tweet you saw!!!

Nothing. It's worse than lots of other messaging apps.

It's used a lot in the US because people are still using SMS over there, as if we were still in the year 1875. They like sticking to medieval systems and beliefs as much as possible, like the imperial system and strong religious fanatism.

I believe that in every other country, it's not used by that many people.
