If you give an exploitative company information, they are not going to use that information to make their company better, they’re going to use that information to improve their grift. They won’t end their exploitation, they’ll only learn how to reduce your resistance to their exploitation. Any information you give them will only be used against you or people like you. Best to avoid it entirely and just tell them to fuck themselves twenty times in a row. They’ll still have to parse the response, and it’s impossible for them to exploit or misunderstand it.
If you give them data points you’re rewarding the behavior. You shouldn’t have to give any response because the reason you’re uninstalling is none of the software developers business. So OP had the option of giving a canned response, or saying “other”, but won’t except “other” without some explanation of what the “other” reason is. Which is none of their fucking business.
Sometimes people would buy me coins if I posted something they liked. It took me forever to find some sort of use for the coins, since I never did any of the shit that people might spend coins on. 15 years on the site and I never had an avatar or anything like that. THEN I finally figured it out. The only acceptable use for reddit coins. Buying cute teddy bear awards for people that hate you. It was fun, and it pissed them off. When they’re trying to have a vicious argument about “marvel movies” or something, and getting all worked up sending them a cute teddy bear icon that attaches to their name, whether they want it or not, is exactly the right thing to do with your stupid gold coins.
I’ve used one called “manything” (Monitor anything). It turns your obsolete cellphones and tablets into a network of web accessible security cameras.
