> Apple enablers downvoting.
It's a comically bad idea to talk against Apple around here, but the guidelines are clear: don't talk about downvotes. If you have good points corrective votes will happen.
That being said, while Apple is strongly anti-consumer (in everything except for privacy), Facebook is orders of magnitude worse in more regards than merely celebrating choice. Definitely a great second contender, but the world would be genyinely better place without Facebook.

- op03 6y agoThe Law of Pointless Reward systems states - Any random reward system produces community. If the community has no shared goal or purpose, the random outcomes the reward system produces will be tolerated.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoAnd just so GP understands—I felt the need to downvote their comment explicitly because of that line at the end.
- urda 6y agoHonestly I did the same here. It completely undermines their argument and turns their comment into a whine-fest. I don't need to be told how to "think" about things and how I should allow more and more government into my life by some random internet commenter who's upset over downvotes (especially not from one who's not even associated with SV at all and has little to stand on).

- urda 6y ago> I'm speaking for your freedom, whether you accept that or not. Uh thanks, I can speak for myself and so can others here. You're not some savior dropping new knowledge here in this community so don't act like you're some second coming. > Please don't gate keep tech. Hardly what happened here, just a critical point to consider before your wall-of-text should be read by others. When the SV folks are telling you that you might be off track, it's time to listen to them. And the whole "second coming" thing doesn't suit you.
- DenverCode 6y agoWhy does living in the valley constitute whether or not you can be opinionated about tech? Maybe I'm ignorant to the fact, but is this a belief that people hold?
- echelon 6y agoI understand. I'm just incredibly angry and tired at the ongoing attacks to our freedom. It's not something I can hold in.
