Let's be honest though, if a company can make money doing something they most likely will do it. It wouldn't matter if you paid $100,000 a month to use windows, if they could make an extra $1000 selling your personal information and pushing ads at you they will.
- ovao 8y agoIf that were truly the case, wouldn’t Apple and Canonical be doing exactly that?
- dsego 8y agoExcept Canonical was doing exactly that with amazon ads in the launcher.
- autoexec 8y agoUbuntu did infest their OS with ads (via amazon). Last I checked they still did but backlash caused them to disable it by default. I can't speak to apple's data collection and ad practices but I'm guessing they've been doing some form of both.
