I'm continuously surprised how authoritarian some people are.
You consider something superior just because it works for you and therefore everyone should be forced to do as you, but you ignore what doesn't work for others (such as being tied to a phone).
- arbitrage 5y agoNobody is forcing you to use Google's products. If having a phone is that onerous for you, you're allowed to not do that.
- ergot_vacation 5y agoGOOGLE is literally forcing people to use their products. Their entire business strategy is based around it, gobbling up or destroying every competitor, advertising and promoting their own services on search above others, illegally collaborating with other giant tech companies, and on and on. That's how monopolies work. That's the whole point.
