r/android comment section giving the expected behavior as usual. These news sites know how to be a puppet master, I'm telling ya.

Webite wants to push pro Pixel discussion:

Proceeds to drop a article with a sensationalist title that triggers said Pixel owners.

Comment section is immediately filled with folks declaring how great their Pixel is.

This tactic flip flops between OEMS. It's generally in Samsungs favor but not always.

They're really running out of shit to write an article about I see. This is obviously a non-issue. But those sweet, sweet clicks...

ASUS now actively sabotaging attempts to unlock Zenfone 9 bootloader in c/[email protected]

And eventually, Google will drop this feature for the Pixel as well. You can bank on it. An unlockable bootloader adds absolutely nothing of value to these companies because it slows down year to year buying from consumers and isn't as profitable. It is from their perspective, counter productive to leave this feature enabled. So this isn't surprising in the least, tbh.

Asus and Google used it to bait enthusiasts and as soon as they established a user base they were comfortable with, they will remove it. If the phones stop selling, they will simply stop making them. It's that simple. You keeping your phone updated and feature packed for several years is not how they intend to allow the market to stray.

They want year to year sales above all else. An unlockable bootloader negates that for the majority of those who buy phones with that feature.

As a companion piece to that great film witch doesn't even scratch the surface of the tragedy in 1963, I urge you to read or listen to the the book "LBJ - Mastermind of the JFK Assassination" by Phillip F Nelson.

It's absolutely fascinating and brings up more than a few irrefutable points. Seriously, give it a read or listen. (I personally prefer the audiobook).

It's 27 hrs long...
