The only thing from your list that still applies is being stuck with the android OS. It’s super weird that you think I should have some kind of loyalty to them because I’m forced to use one of their services lol. Being stuck with android isn’t the same as not wanting to actively support them directly with money
I don’t think I have used that word in the slightest bit. Not even implied it. So not sure where that came from.
And saying that one uses Android after your rather sever stance against Google is rather ridiculous. You can’t just brush that off as no big deal seeing as how important a phone is in day-to-day life these days. Maybe tone down the rhetoric a few notches if you still use one of their crown jewel products.
How is it ridiculous? I don’t like the electric company but I still pay them because they’re what’s available. I’m still extremely angry at them for raising our rates this year while not touching the rates for businesses. By your logic I can’t really complain because I still technically use the service?
My alternative is to go to what? Apple? Bleh. I actually like them a little more than Google/Samsung for their policies but the way they lock you into their ecosystem pisses me off and I think iPhones are boring.
So what else? Some knockoff third party unofficial OS or Android clone that I’m nowhere near technically knowledgeable enough to deal with right now? Android is a bit of a necessary evil that I do my best to deal with. Nothing about that means I should just give Google more money when I do have other options. Using a service doesn’t mean you can’t criticize it. Especially if it’s a service that holds part of a monopoly.
