Still, we have guidelines on false advertising for a reason. Some companies "advertise" their products in a more truthful and good faith way, and others don't. There's value in calling specific incidents out
This isn't to bash Apple or defend one of its competitors, I just think it's unproductive when we have this set of comments:
Dude we're in a class war and our class is losing. Can you name a single major corporation who has the future of working class genuinely in mind? We literally just went through "inflation" half of which was just a corporate money grab.
Know your enemy.
My point is that we should be specific about problems, or else they get ignored
I find that saying "oh well, they all do it" is indirectly defending the company that did something wrong
If you read it that way, that's on you for deciding it must mean that excuses the behavior. Pointing out that it is everywhere isn't the same as saying that means it's okay or we shouldn't be upset about it.
A lot of fluff about how it isn't propaganda sounds a lot more defensive of these people than I am being, so whatever.
Literally you're the one actually defending the behavior here, so I really don't understand what you're angling for.
