Last night I was watching a video from a YouTuber I enjoy. He’s likeable and reviews all kinds of smartphones. I find it relaxing, it makes me smile. In yesterday’s video, he showed his partner switching from an iPhone to Android and sharing his impressions.
At one point, the partner started saying that iOS is "dumber2 in many ways, specifically talking about the keyboard, because "Apple’s privacy is stronger, so they spy on you less". To me, that’s a feature, not a bug.
He went on to say it’s absurd, that he would actually like Amazon Alexa, Google, Android, iOS, and so on to know everything about him, so they can make things easier and provide more convenient features.
I was honestly stunned. So I went to check the comments and... they were all focused only on the fact that, "finally", he introduced his boyfriend in a video.
As long as this is how the average user thinks, big tech will keep their balance sheets locked tight and their hands on everyone’s data.
