Subscription model everything ownership of nothing Perfect capitalism
I just want to say I fuckin hate Apple products. I used them for 10 years - they aren't intuitive. They are purposely unintuitive. Not saying Google or Microsoft are good by any means, but I don't usually want to smash them to bits when I use them.
Yeah I never understood how Apple got the reputation for being "user friendly."
I watched a video on this a while back. They seriously try to create this culture of superiority in their users. Convince them you have to be smart to learn how to use their products. Then after you're used to it, it makes switching difficult.
They basically just repeated that they were user friendly long enough until people were fooled into believing it.
I hope that the marketing person who came up with this has ended his life bitterly, and died poor. What a shitty notion to generate fake necessity and please the capitalist overlords.
Apple might not be the best example to use here. They tend to have more durable stuff with longer support windows as part of the brands “better computer” image.
