Crab Rangoon's. I just don't like them. I mean it's just fried cream cheese.

90% of b2b software. They literally charge thousands of dollars while giving the worse piece of shit software you've ever used.
Sometimes the value add is security, sometimes scaling or uptime. Enterprise considerations aren't necessarily the same as for individual consumers.
Sometimes it's just a dogshit product though, and the sales team pulled the wool over some execs eyes.

Bahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah
Not useless as such but a wallpaper app or something that expects you to pay £5.99 a month to use. Fuck all the way off with that
Didn’t MKBHD launch some wallpaper app for $12 a month? I heard about it and just figured he was another tech YouTuber who lost touch
He did actually do a really good honest apology for that, restructuring pricing and improving on the app, but then he did the thing of the commentor above me, which was worse.
How could you possibly apologize for charging $12 A MONTH for wallpapers!?
"I was trying to be the Netflix for wallpapers." /s
Teams
I was legit baffled by how such a shit peace of software could become so ubiquitous – until I got to know SAP and realized that Teams isn't even in the bottom half of enterprise software quality.
There used to be an app that was a Dragon Ball Z scouter. You could point it at anything with a face and it would tell you a random power level. Apparently mine is 10,550 (I can barely lift a jug of milk).
I don't know, not the worst in this thread at least.
Until we find out it's actually a white supremacist thing and OP is just pasty af.
Wdym?
"Power levels" was/is a white supremacist dogwhistle for cryptofascists, as in "Don't forget to hide your (white) power level."
You'd see it referenced on their meme communities on Reddit fairly frequently. At least it was when I still had an eye on what cryptofascists were doing, which I have to say is the best part of Lemmy, not constantly seeing cryptofascist things.
With that app, and that in mind, there's a (completely and mostly jokingly speculative) possibility that it was measuring albedo instead of just randomly assigning numbers. I'm mostly being a miserable cynic bringing it up without evidence tbh.
Over 9000!!!! 😱🤯
Paid calculator apps.
Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.
Money laundering? Or just going kids download on devices with their parents data to go unnoticed for months at a time?
They 100% bank on people forgetting cancelling
Also, Apple gave iOS a default calculator just a few months ago. When I had an iPad I had to download dozens and dozens of calculators to find one that didnt have ads or subscriptions
Edit: I meant iPad. They sold iPads without the calculator from launch until Q4 2024
This list is too long
For me, any office apps. Never worked in an office, never wanted to. None of that stuff. Even if it's free, if it gets installed with the distro, it's the first thing that gets tossed.
Boost / Sync for Lemmy
huh? i use boost (and used to use it for reddit before the whole API thing) and haven't ever seen it ask for money or anything
Same, it shows ads, but they're pretty easy to block. I paid for it just to help support the dev, he seems pretty cool.
Thanks 🫂🥲
If you're really the dev, please add support for spoilers, it's the only thing that makes me consider a different app. I've also been using Boost since Reddit, and I have a feeling spoiler tags worked there, but that was long ago and my memory is not that good.
What's wrong with Sync, lol
Full price EA games with F2P-style microtransactions and ads
And this isn't useless, but I can't believe that to rent Photoshop for $20/mo, your creative projects are not your IP...
to rent Photoshop for $20/mo, your creative projects are not your IP
How is that even legal?
I don't think that's true.
They changed their TOS to give them a right to everything you make. https://9to5mac.com/2024/06/06/change-to-adobe-terms-amp-conditions/
Spotify and apps like it. Imagine paying a subscription to a subpar selection of music when you could just download mp3s. Imagine having skipping a song being a privilege. Are you an abused kid? Is drinking water a privilege too? I paid once for BlackPlayer simply because it's my favorite music player app. The most important features were free.
