The hiking apps I looked at all required accounts. And, then the apps showed you what the people around you were doing, and what time they averaged doing their habits. It was like stalker heaven with all the data organized, and color coded. Until those apps are proven to be the cause of crime idiots will use them. Not everything should be datamined with an account.
And even if you DO sign up, the product eventually gets utterly enshittified anyway, and you have to look for another one and repeat the whole process.
Apps switching server side login is making me try less things. A decade ago I was willing to try the dumbest shit because I was bored. I haven't done that in a very long time.
