All I know about the green/blue text is the (possibly not real) trope of 'Ugh green [or is it blue?] text! I don't date poors who don't have an iPhone!'
At some point there was a big deal being made about Google taking your data and so 'stealing your mind' (can't disagree tbh). However, in attempting to monetize your base urges, I would respond that Apple is trying to steal your soul!
(no longer any affiliation to either company, though I was in Cupertino for a bit in a previous life)
- acdha 4y agoThe green/blue text thing is like kids getting ostracized for not having the right sneakers in school – it’s happened but it’s just telling you that terrible people exist, and it’s the perfect clickbait story for people to shake their heads at. The reason why it stayed in the news was that last year Google made a big lobbying push trying to get governments to force Apple to open the service to Android since Google pushed users away years ago and are now recognizing that nobody is coming back.
