In fact, I the bolt came, I arrived at the airport, paid, and made it in time.

Now. Why create this artificial barrier for your users, Bolt? The usual excuse of "whaaaaa, creating a web app is additional effort and we can't afford it" doesn't apply here. You already HAVE a nice, fast, functional web app. why geo-fence it?

The answer is: because we, the users, are compliant with such abuse of monopoly.

This is a reminder to NEVER trust big companies that there's any good reason to not have a web app unless it's clearly not technically possible (which is extremely rare anyway imho).

I invite you to boycott any company that forces (or coerces) you to install an app. We deserve choice, we deserve control. We deserve better. Demand it!

@kuba personal choice doesn't work on a real world scale, because 95+% of users aren't conscious of many things. You know a lot about tech, so you can recognise this artificial barrier, most people won't. We need laws that require these things, at the very least. Unless we want to overthrow capitalism 😊😇

@Kavelach yes to that! And first step to having laws passed is raising awareness, so this is exactly what I'm doing
