But that is an obvious observation. Almost a tautology. The question is how they choose to go about doing it. One company plans to keep selling me off to advertisers. Another plans to provide me with software.
- bjpbakker 8y ago> One company plans to keep selling me off to advertisers. Another plans to provide me with software. That's not exactly true. Both companies have shown that they _will_ switch to selling something different when they believe they can make more money that way. Also, both these companies spy on you while using their products, and both sell that data to their advertisers. It's not just Google. You should use both their products as you want, when they help you. My point is mainly not to trust that the company behind the developer products is some kind of a good actor. They will sell you out when it fits them.
