Maybe it’s because us people hate corporate loyalty and anti consumer practices. And corporations are like lemmings, they see one company doing it and they all wanna follow.
Walled gardens are inherantly designed to exclude communities and drive classism. Want to view this picture? Sorry you can’t because you dsint pay the fee. Want to chat with this group? Sorry were going to make inconvienent to everyone involved that you didn’t pay the fee.
The end goal is to split people up into have and have nots in order to drive desire for your product with little thougt given to the poorer communies it disenfranchises. Your attitude is the boomer “fuck you. Got mine” one.
That’s one opinion. The other is that I like that all my devices operate seamlessly with each other and save me time and aggravation. I like that I can give my parents Apple products and not worry about them downloading things that might compromise their data or mess up their devices. The fact that limits exist is exactly what I like about Apple products. When I pick them up, they work.
I say this as a current and previous owner of multiple PCs that I built myself and multiple Android devices. I used to love dicking around with all that stuff. Now I just need it to work and I need it to be secure and reliable. I get that with Apple products. I don’t get that with Linux, Windows, or Android anymore.
You’re an insufferable asshole man, argumentative and aggressive, and aggressively defending one of the worst tech companies around… But whatever, you do you…
Guess what? I don’t subscribe to either. I cancelled Netflix after that nonsense and I cancelled Disney 2 days ago. Live by your principles. You whining like a mule on Lemmy does nothing.

Then don’t buy their products. It’s just weird to me that people want to complain so incessantly about a garden they don’t have to live in.

Read the last part of what I said…
Why? It’s meaningless. Don’t buy the copycat products, then. The only reason they exist is because people buy them.

Remember how Netflix cracked down on password sharing? Well just don’t have a Netflix subscription… Problem solved right?
