No one actually believes their BS and I doubt you actually do either. They use so many bullshit and mental gymnastics to "score" Germany well despite their appalling "free speech" laws. I think it's very fair to say

You can do that just fine. Huge swaths of people just use the Amazon app store or the Samsung One. F-Droid is also an option if you don't want to make any accounts.

I mean as a passive investor this stuff should terrify you. You're learning that your "passive" is actually quite active. It's why people suggest VTI over VOO/SPY for "true" passive. If you want to be acti
