Yes you're missing the point. If I'm on the freeway in the middle of the night and take an exit to some town I've never been to only to find out the location is closed the app has failed. I needed accurate information in that moment. Not years later when the community gets around to correcting the hours. I absolutely need to be able to depend on the data the app is presenting. If I can't I'm not going on a crusade to fix all the errors, I'm using a different app.
@Sir_Kevin I never said "Have you ever corrected the store hours while driving off a highway in another city" - obviously that would be a stupid question, don't assume I'm stupid. I asked if you ever came back home, rested in front of Netflix and opened the app to update the store hours that you noticed during the day - because that's the only way they will be updated, and if you aren't doing it, then somebody will have to do it for you, so you owe them.
I fucking owe them??? They presented me with wrong info and wasted my time, fuel and stress. I don't owe anyone shit! Make a good product and I will gladly pay for it. Send me off to a dead end, I owe nothing. What kind of stupid ass logic is that? Fuck out of here. That argument is fine if we're talking about a video game or some shit. What if we were trying to find a hospital?
