Why would you want to "praise" a company. Publicly traded companies operate for financial gain. If you feel a company is supporting your interests you might want to consider buy their products.
Make sure it's known that you're buying their product because they support your interests. They will hopefully see that it's good business to continue doing so.
That's a much more robust way to get the products (and ecosystem) that you want than by praising them.

- new299 9y agoTo me that's a business transaction. Praise would be "Thanks, Apple, for supporting privacy!" then not necessarily buying any of their products.
- mcphage 9y ago> To me that's a business transaction. But that doesn't make clear why you're buying their product, or which of their attitudes you want to reinforce.
- new299 9y agoYou could make it explicitly clear by emailing them, or mentioning it at the time of purchase or timing your purchase with a privacy announcement.
- praneshp 9y agoThat's what I do. I have a corp Macbook, but no Apple products bought out of my money.
