This is a really good reason to not install the app. IMHO we (HN readers) have an obligation to stand up against companies using dark patterns to strongarm users into giving up their data. Otherwise it will keep getting worse until gov. regulation.

I tried for a long time but I finally gave in. I'm weak!

The website has become ridiculous. I only use it when I'm on a desktop computer now which is probably for the best anyhow.
