I think I’d rather have a closed source operating system that is sold for profit than an open source one funded by advertising.
I don’t think either situation is ideal however, but the iOS motivation seems better aligned with my interests.
- bla2 8y agoHow is Android funded by advertising? The google services running on it are funded by advertising, but you don't have to use those.
- xevb3k 8y agoAndroid is funded as a vehicle for those services. Last time I checked, the license fees Google receives did not fully cover the development of Android.
