The same carriers that hijack DNS, to show you adds when you make a typo on a URL? Or the same carriers that managed to show you an add when you're on WiFi that you pay for, on your own computer?
- Apocryphon 5y agoIt takes a lot less effort to do both of those things, than it is to build a third-party app store and to entice users to join. They may attempt to, but it would be difficult. It’s a lot easier to show ads than it is to get users to use those crappy carrier or OEM bundled bloatware apps. Even Apple has had to allow app hiding or deletion of its first party apps in recent updates, because a lot of users don’t use a lot of them and find them to be clutter.
