Dude I’ve clarified exactly what I meant. At some point you need to stop telling me what I said and listen to me when I tell you what I said.
To quote you:
And I'm saying you don't know that they won't do that in the future. But keep clarifying yourself more, I'm sure it will help clear it up.
Oh ffs no one knows anything about the future so let’s go pick apart literally any prediction you’ve ever made with any certainty if we’re going to be pedantic shits about it.
Let’s get prescriptive then since you’re such an ass:
It is reasonable to assume based on the way Apple implements ads at this stage that Apple will not implement ads the way we are seeing Roku roll them out in the post we are commenting on for the foreseeable future barring a major departure from how Apple does business, so for now one is probably safe to use Apple TV without fear of seeing this very obtrusive and obnoxious implementation of ads replicated on their Apple TV system.
Are you satisfied? Can we move on? Jfc you’re obnoxious. I don’t know why you’re pretending you don’t understand what I am saying. Go touch grass. Interact with people. Clearly you’ve lost the ability to infer or interpret basic sentences. Some people hate Apple so much it rots their brain i swear.
I'm not the one defending a corporation that literally hid behind their CEOs coming out story to avoid bad press about their tax dodging... Tax dodging which helped them get their obscene warchest today. Apple isn't your friend and doesn't care that you exist, dude.
Cry more and go suck some more corporate dick while you're at it.
Not defending Apple. I’m a Linux user. Apple can generally go fuck itself. Try again.
I'm definitely not the one being a tryhard here.
Also, Linux ain't safe from corporate influence when Linus dies, either.
There you go putting words in my mouth again
Other people having their own opinions isn't putting words in your mouth.
Ok then you’re making strawmen. Same difference.
FFS dude do you have so little grasp of the English language you legitimately can’t infer anything or are you just being dense on purpose?
Having an opinion and stating it isn't making a strawman.
At this point I'm just having fun pissing you off.
When did I call you a try hard?
When did I ever talk about corporate influence in any way, shape, or form?
You’re responding to shit I am not saying. That’s a strawman or putting words in my mouth.
I guess you can't infer that other people have their own opinions. The whole thing that started this was me having the opinion that you can't trust corporations to not change in the future.
You don't have to say certain things for me to be willing to make statements of my own opinion. That's how a conversation works but I guess you must not have a lot of those in real life.
You are an insufferable child and I won’t let you waste my time further. Frankly I’m embarrassed I rolled in the mud with you this long.
Feel free to have the last word. I’m sure it’s very important to you.
