>becoming an amateur lawyer and spending dozens of hours reading and comparing T&Cs between apps to choose which one to use (until they change the T&Cs again of course, which they'll do without notifying you)

This right here is the issue. There's a protocol to these things focused on pushing out, but no reciprocal pipeline for feedback other than "clicked" to come back in. Clickwrapping should have been wholely dismissed as a valid medium for contracting. I'm willing to park on and die on this hill. A contract regime wherein oneside is the progenitor of all changes, is not, in fact, a meeting of anything.

And yes, I'm drinking my kool-aid at this point. Sucks being on the minimalist side of the Software world, but I'm doing my damnedest to cut out every EULA possible, replacing it with something wherein I can be assured the world won't be turned over on me at a moment's notice at the behest of a bunch of greed optimized psychopaths sitting on top of an infrastructure most of them would be powerless to keep running short of the economic game of Mutually Assured Destruction the West calls it's capitalist "free market" system (which is anything but once you scratch beneath the surface).
