Google will always try too screw over consumers when they can make even a dime more off of a product. This is not a bug but a feature – for the company.
Consider degoogling. There are a lot of alternatives, albeit with some slight drawbacks. Everyone should consider for themselves whether these drawbacks are bad enough to stay with a company that treats you as the product, not as the customer.
You’re preaching to the choir on that one. I mainly use Apple stuff — I feel like, between Apple, Microsoft, and Google, Apple is the least evil. Some disagree. I always liked Macs though, and once GPU prices started going up… I bought one. Pretty good deal if you’re willing to give up PC gaming. But I also realise Apple isn’t that much better than the others, if they are at all. Linux is the real winner here. If I didn’t need a whole new computer, I probably would have switched to Linux.
Of course most people dislike the big tech companies here, but I don’t fully agree. When a comment talks about what Android users deserve not everyone is getting the message yet.
Of course they deserve better, but they will never ever get it, because the system is not for them. I think people still really need to understand that they are considered more a product than a customer.
