@jk I see it more as "I hate how iOS can't...". Like there are differences between these platforms, it's not that android is better because it's clearly not, it's that it's less worse

@jk my take may be biased by the fact that I see ad blocking as a basic minimum viable feature, I will prefer something that's worse in every way if it doesn't have ads

@jk I guess the difference is that I don't filly reject the concept of a phone, it seems like a computing form factor that could be useful for some things, I just hate how they're implemented, how they've become mandatory, etc. So I am interested in using my phone for certain tasks.

I guess the other thing is, because they're a mandatory computing device, it means for people who can't afford more than 1 device, what they have is a phone. So like how can we mitigate that disaster

@jk and of course responding to this on my phone fucked up the threading lol. Yeah I suspect content is where the difference shows up. I can't use the official YouTube app, I need a lot of background noise and I don't always have my computer out, so its nice to have something that's just "already there" to put some guy talking about an old computer into my headphones
