Why do people care that people care?

I am interested in hearing what happens at reddit because it affects how likely people are to leave, and where they might go if they do leave.

Look, I’m happy about the EU regulating these things and think it’s great for the overall ecosystem. But can we please stop with the “Apple users are braindead” circlejerk? It’s so fucking cringe, and it unironically reminds me of the unebearable zeal that Apple cultists used to (and probably still do but I see it less) impose on anyone who made the mistake of getting to close to them.

I’ve had many Android phones over the years, and one iPhone 8. While I am considering moving to a de-Googled Android for privacy reasons, I have to say, my iPhone has held up better than any of my Android phones (Galaxy S3, S4, LG G3) did, without needing to replace the battery. Just because you can’t understand why someone might want one doesn’t mean everyone who gets an iPhone is an idiot.

I would much rather have left this kind of tech chest-beating over at reddit.

Ah nah, it’s OK I wasn’t talking to you specifically. The meme is fine by itself – it just attracts certain types that do like to say the kind of things I was referring to. Perhaps I should have replied to one of the other comments I saw that said this instead.

It’s still barely limping along. For a while, if you wanted some quality cringe content, you could get it by scraping the bottom of the barrel there.
