Marketing is powerful.

Cult indoctrination is even more powerful.

It's beyond a cult. Say something against them and wow, they come at you.

Since my very first ipad 1 I've seen this company continue to screw it's base but for some reason the base keeps drinking from the fountain.

Honestly, the base should be studied.

There are fanatics on every side, but once a brand becomes a core part of your personality, I'm not going to want to talk to you.

[–] Oneobi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Therein lies the problem. We should never put ourselves in a position of corporate reliance.

Apple users and Trump Supporters.

Two groups of people that are absolutely hated by the objects of their worship.

Apple Haters and Apple Users of the same magnitude can be quite indistinguishable.

The same is true of Android and Windows users.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 15 points 1 year ago

Almost every Windows user will tell you that Windows sucks

[–] Oneobi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Android I can believe but Windows. Come on, everyone shits on Windows lol

[–] nocturne213@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, but they will tell you a pc is superior to any other piece of electronics at the same time.

I am unique! I have personality tied to a device!
