      it’s hard to get invested in anything they do because unless it’s gmail, search, or youtube it could be gone in a month. even those, they’d do it if they could get away with it

        YouTube algorithm turned to shit since 5 years ago. There used to be really good YouTube rabbit holes where every autoplay video was interesting, but now it wants to go to a video you stopped playing(WTF we stopped watching for a reason) 💀

          My kid has recently been allowed some tablet time. I’ve had to keep an eye on YouTube especially.

          After 2-3 videos of Nursary rhymes or learning you end up into the cesspit of over the top reactions, pranks and trying to sell shit.

      To be fair, Apple Watches work the same way too, right?

      When I was in the Apple camp Apple Care just replaced the watch over fixing the component. I may be wrong however. Dear reader, please correct me.

        You got a new watch but they refurbished your old one and sold it again. They just do it that way with watches because it’s way faster for the customer.
