mcdonalds, local news...if you want this, download the app! Can't read a fox news article without "to continue reading for free, enter email". I don't eat there and could not care any less about fox news. Just curious. What are they gaining and what am I losing?

They want your data. They also want to poke you as often as you'll let them to remind you they need your attention. But mostly, they want your data.

Correct. Also, they can use push notifications to annoy you even when you're not using their app.

From a code base, apps give the author much more control to do things with a person's device than through a browser.

I use apps as seldom as I can - just like I use cash as often as I can.

Don't let these fuckers get control of your device. It's really much more than just the data.
