There’s been backlash to being on phones all day. iOS even guilt trips you every week with stats. It even guilt trips you for being too sedentary. If anyone is going to guilt trip you for doing too much of something, probably apple.
- aziaziazi 3y agoYou should understand the guilt is on the recipient side (you). Here the sender (Apple) may have genuine concern about their users health or have marketing incentives to express the same concern. Probably a mix of both.
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoOr Apple just has liability concerns so it includes these options as a feature.
- 2muchcoffeeman 3y agoRegardless of whether they are doing it out of genuine concern or to cover their own asses, they aren't reporting my usage or lack of activity so that I can not do something about it. If they wanted me addicted, they would do something else.
- aziaziazi 3y agoThat is exactly my understanding too. Though I think « inform » is more appropriate than « guilt trip »: my first understanding of your comment was « Apple wants to makes me feel guilt when using their products ».
- dwaite 3y agoI’ve never felt guilt from those stats. They might make me evaluate the last week, but IMHO guilt isn’t really a helpful emotion when it comes to past (not active) behavior.
