I think Apple rightly gets the most criticism since their marketing is among mind-control levels and they are fine with doing unethical things (Lying in ads, using fake customers to pretend to have popularity, astroturfing/upvote farms to control narratives, making people status insecure)
Once you realize how dirty Apple's marketing is, its quite off-putting. I have a similar aversion to Samsung, Nintendo, Disney.
Maybe Google does mind control, but I didn't catch them. Apple, Samsung, Nintendo, Disney, these companies have no qualms making you feel pain to get a sale.
- skhunted 2y agoThis is news to me regarding the level of shittiness of Apple's marketing. Do you have any sources? If not that is OK. I don't think it's outside the realm of feasibility that this is so. It's not an extraordinary claim. Apple executives have the aura of "good guys" but that is merely a public facing facade.
