Is it a dumb take? Really? This is the company that routinely kills off popular apps and features just because they’re difficult to monetize. Google gives zero shits about customer service or product support whether hardware or software- all they care about is profit. Supporting hardware longer is bad for android device makers because there is so little profit in making them.

If Google cares so little about their users that they will ship defective flagship devices and then tell people the defects don’t matter when they’re discovered, why in the world would they keep their word on supporting those defective devices for around twice as long as most other manufacturers?

It’s not a dumb take- there’s a pattern to Google’s behavior.

This is why I don’t believe Google’s pledge of seven years of support for the new Pixel devices. If they don’t care about obvious defects in the display then why would they bother to do full OS updates for seven years?

It still takes too long to activate to be useful for any camera app. It should have a toggle for instant response.

It makes me move around more and facilitates quick communication.

As far as hedonism is concerned, I don’t get laid any more than I used to, and the number of orgies I’ve been invited to in my lifetime still stands at zero.

Casetify cases are so overpriced that I was surprised to hear that they steal artwork.

I keep seeing this story all over Reddit and I can’t help but ask, what exactly does this mean for me and why should I care?
