I'll re-post my comment from the other thread because I think it's an important point: > I briefly considered it. I've been entirely out of the Apple ecosystem so far (save for airpods). It sounds like Apple is gaining traction over time because the competition keeps getting worse and worse. > I'm frankly not sure opting into Apple is a solution to the problem at large. It might be a temporary fix, but at the end of the day you're still using a proprietary system which might decide that ads are lucrative tomorrow. I agree it's a viable alternative. I worry it's just pushing the same problem a few years down.
