Everyone says Apple's walled garden is a problem.
Google built something far more insidious. higher walls but glass, no garden just a swamp of ads.
This reads like a Google ad. I know you're not a Google marketing shill. They don't need it. Their users will justify their own choice to the point their literally lose the scope of the thread.
They are all part of the same walled shit hole disguised in a veneer of shiny new products and empty promises.
Sure. It's just funny to watch people pick Google because Apple is bad.
At least Apple isn't selling every price of your data to advertisers.
Apple hatred is mostly people who have never used it.
Everyone has used Google.
Google is inarguably worse but people get religious about it. As long as they can think of one thing Google does better, they will justify the abuse.
Sort of like republican voters.
Apple is almost certainly selling your data, perhaps not to same extent as Google, but personal data is literally these companies biggest commodity.
Yep. That's the justification I was talking about.
People have a blindness to Apple so they let Google take their data.
