    Almost no current apps have to be so data heavy. It’s lazy copy & paste programming and apps that are intentionally running scripts in the background that created this problem in the first place.

    It isn’t enough to keep increasing the speed and bandwidth of devices and infrastructure, there has to bean active resistance against bloat and unoptimized coding.
