Oh look, Android users suffering the same bullying behavior they accuse Apple of inflicting on its users!
Except, Android users can still install apps outside the Play Store.
Yeah, that's not right, in either case.
Kind of?
Google is definitely eager to be as shitty as apple, but android users still have a way easier time avoiding corporate abuse than apple users.
I was talking about this with one of my friends a couple weeks ago and bitching about how I can't find a phone to replace mine that wouldn't be a massive downgrade in terms of what I can do with it. He was joking and said "Maybe you should just get an Iphone" and I was like... at this point maybe I should what difference would it make?
Android gets all the cool hardware but the software and play store is dogshit. Apple has a better store and good software but not INTERESTING hardware. It’s stale and dead.
Yea, they're racing to the bottom or whatever's beneath the bottom. Nothing innovative for the customer. Just controlling them to harvest their data.
