MODERATORS
what are 'green and blue bubbles'?
An elitist dog whistle built to "other" the "poor" people - people that may have otherwise been successfully socializing or "passing" with wealthy people to the point of the first text message sent. Also a quiet tool for labor discrimination.
Only took them about 20 years of oppression to finally announce they would potentially end the practice.
Tbf that's more of an apple fanboy thing (though apple created, encouraged, and exploited that as an advertising technique, it's an extension of iPods and their "white headphone cord").
Basically apple cultists judge you as less than because you're too poor to afford an iphone and use android instead.
Apple is actually just a really good marketing company that hawks mediocre tech, not a mediocre tech company with a really good marketing team.
