Apple promotes its Security Bounty program as one of the most generous in the tech world, offering up to $2 million for high-risk vulnerabilities. But recent events raise questions about how the company determines payouts. A researcher who reported a serious flaw in Safari received only $1,000, even though Apple labeled the bug as “Critical” […]
People defend apple wwayyyy too much. They’re worse than Google, which is saying something. Google doesn’t pretend that your data security is their only concern and then barely do things differently to actually protect you
Nah, they just hoover it up, use all of your data to train ai, and shut down services they bought that you enjoy so that you can have room on your device for their 18th chat application. Definitely better… Or some nuclear grade whataboutism and we can just admit they both suck in different ways. I know the bed fellow I’d pick, and it ain’t the G man that’s been burning my ass with product shutdowns, forced ads, and data vacuuming for the past 25 years.
Everyone bitches about shutting things down but I can’t remember ever caring about one of those products and I suspect I’m far from alone because why would they shut down a popular product?
I pick Google one thousand times over. Wish I could avoid them but if my other viable choice are liars whose entire business model is preventing user choice and lying about caring about my privacy while proving otherwise, they can suck my ass.
You whine about ads but you choose a platform that forces you to use their one piece of absolute shit web browser that cannot be definition block any ads unless apple says you can. Like every fucking thing else on the phone, by default you can’t do it until they deem it worthy of being allowed.
Because I use a Google phone, I almost never see an ad. The choice I have right now is barely different from 10 years ago but iOS has taken many years to get maybe 60% of the freedoms I’ve had the entire fucking time.
You can probably tell I’m pretty sick of people explaining away their garbage business model which I despise.
That’s a fucking wild opinion considering some of the high profile shit they’ve shuttered. Maybe you’re just unfamiliar and unempathetic though. So here’s a list https://killedbygoogle.com/
Beyond that, all I have to say is that you have fun shutting off your brain and go enjoy being the product because your statement is so fucking blind to reality you’re defending a company who literally has lost repeated lawsuits for monopolistic practices because they “don’t prevent user choice” and “care about your privacy”. Neither of which are remotely fucking true, and you can prove it empirically.
I couldn’t possibly disagree with this trainwreck of an opinion more. Apple users are the ones actively turning off their brains as perfectly evidenced here. Google turned off your RSS reader is the best comeback you got.
Apple has been attacked legally for their flagrant anti competitive practices repeatedly, to the point the EU has threatened to ban them from a fucking continent. Google being shitty can never excuse an iota of Apple’s anti consumer and anti user behavior. Fuck apple. Could never ever say it enough.
I don’t use rss, if you’re curious of the actual product they killed that I enjoyed asshole it was Google Play Music, for which ytm is not a viable replacement. That’s also another core misunderstanding you have here that I’m defending apple because your rotted fucking mind is so bent on white knighting for your fan boy company that you can’t see I’m of the opinion they both fucking suck, just in different ways. As for that empirical evidence here’s a list of some:

So, fuck you and your shit ass fanboying. The most annoying part of it is that you’re hating on others for the same shit your favorite special little boy “doesn’t do”. It’s as insane as it is inept.
I admitted Google sucks too so this moronic fucking claim that I’m “white knighting” for them leads me to stop reading and throw you a big ol 🖕
Bit ironic because you’re 100% simping for apple like a sidepiece
I don’t need to post evidence apple doesn’t care about you. These comments are on a post that proves it and you’ll likely see articles about them losing another lawsuit every week or two that also prove. I know I’ve seen many of them already.
Keep coping that I’m defending apple instead of correcting your incorrect bullshit assumptions. 10/10 great job. Daddy Google has your back. Don’t be evil kiddo.
PS pretty funny you curate a list that you keep handy to prove that Google is evil so you can prove it when absolutely no one denies that whatsoever. If I ever get bored enough I’ll make a list like that for apple which would clearly include dozens of lawsuits and other articles exposing their anti consumer behavior.
I can read and so can anyone else who made it this far. Just like everyone else who uses the term “cope” it’s just shorthand here for “I’m mad I’m wrong”
