I mean, it isn't an interpretation. You literally said "Sites like reddit intentionally break their site to force you to download an app and give them access to your device.", Implying that a TD app would do the same.
It can do plenty of things better. Formatting the top/bottom arrows, bigger buttons on mobile for saving/hiding posts. Have you ever tried turning your phone sideways to watch a video posted here? Every time I do, it loses my place on the page and I have to spend time scrolling around to find it. Can HTML do these things? Sure. Can an app do them as well, arguably easier? Yes. The fact is- if HTML can do it so well, why isn't it already done? An app could also potentially reach a wider audience, and spreading the truth as far as possible is extremely important during these times, is it not?
You don't have to download, whatever, but if there's a demand for it, why not try to meet it?
No... Sites like reddit break their site. There would be zero reason to have an app if they didn't intentionally break the site.
Seems to me like it would be better to invest time in a single platform, than to develop multiple platforms that will likely just be banned from their respective app stores.
? I never disagreed with your reddit statement. I don't know why that keeps getting brought up.
Saying the time is better invested in one platform is the same as saying that about a video game, it hardly applies. An app is much more of a port, not a completely separate entity. You're coming at this from an angle that there's nothing to gain from having an app, and I'm saying there potentially is. Two years ago, I'm sure the exact same arguments were said about having a standalone TD site instead of just a subreddit.
A different platform gets you away from being subjected to that old platform's rules. That seems like a smart thing to do.
By creating an app, you are now subject to that OS's rules... For what benefit? Your videos rotate better?
Unless you are talking about side loading an SDK, which kills the normie appeal.
The apps that work significantly better than the mobile site aren't because apps are better. It is because they broke their mobile site intentionally.
For multiple benefits, not just a video rotating; even if that were the only functionality change, why is that a bad thing? Half the posts here are video clips, I would like to view them with ease. I'm typing this reply on my phone in a 1x1 inch box because it's a long thread. Why is that necessary? Your argument is the html can solve these problems... So where's the fix?
