If a phone is important enough that you think that it's critical that people consider using alternatives for the sake of the future, then those alternatives need to consider why they're that critical and ensure that they are meeting those needs.
Alternatively, it's not that important and as such the market being a "fiefdom" is irrelevant. In which case suggesting people switch to alternatives is also irrelevant because it simply doesn't matter.
- fezfight 4y agoForgive me, I'm not sure what youre trying to say. The relevant reason not to have fiefdoms is demonstrated by the article, is it not? The king can unilaterally destroy you or your business at a whim.
- least 4y agoThat's the intrinsic risk of your business depending on other business' platforms. We're witnessing the effects of this currently with Meta's revenue being heavily impacted by Apple's privacy initiatives on their platform. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Even if you think that the status quo is problematic, I don't think that suggesting that consumers switch to something that is terrible is a pragmatic solution.
- fezfight 4y agoI see. My point is it's a choice we all make everyday. How else can we do it? We can choose to live free, or as serfs. I acknowledge that you disagree. And yeah, Meta sucks.
