Just a little bit more privacy invasion. C’mon, juuuust a little… 'till you no longer notice.
I weep for my newborn, whose reality will be marred by so much fakeness
So, how much will they pay me to opt in?

Why would anyone opt in 😭
Is this just so they can wait a few months and say, “Not enough people were discovering this Great Feature, so we’re enabling it by default”?
I’ve already been getting the itch to leave Samsung and try something different. I’m keeping my eye on the upcoming Nothing Phone 3, if it’s genuinely a “flagship” for £800 I might jump ship.
Pixel is a decent alternative, and de-googled pixel is even better yet.
The main issue with the Pixel is that there is still going money to Google
Not if you buy second hand, though!
That’s true!
I tried a Samsung phone a year or two ago. It lasted less than a day before I was so infuriated that I vowed never to use Samsung again. It is SO invasive and pushes so many ads and bloatware.
Samsung bricked by first Android because of an Android update, my friends who bought the same phone two weeks later had no issues …
I know a bunch of folks who will opt in because their thought process regarding technology is pretty much “new = good.”
Why would anyone opt in 😭
Because the checkbox will be checked by default, and most people just speedrun through the setup as if it was a competition
What??
That’s gonna be a yikes from me dawg
Could they not?
If companies don’t push the envelope, nobody will mark it return to sender.
So…what’ll probably happen:
- Samsung does this. It is universally despised.
- A year will go by, and Google will do this. It will be universally despised.
- A year will go by, and Apple will do this. It will be loved by Apple users and despised by everyone else.
- A year will go by and it’s a part of every Android phone on the market. Apple users will accuse Android of “stealing” the feature. Everyone else will despise it.
This is the way.
Never heard of glance. It’s an ai shopping tool? I couldn’t make sense of it, but I didn’t spend much time either.
This is “opt in”
For now.
Who’s opting into being advertised at more
Everybody who uses Google and Samsung products.
I was just sitting there looking at the cool art I have as a lockscreen wallpaper and im thinking, man I wish my phone would scan my face and place an ai slop image with my face badly right on my lock screen. Thank god Samsung is so in touch with what features consumers want added to their $1000 devices.
Thankfully, this is a fully opt-in experience.
And how long before they decide to make a default instead of opt-in?

opt-in:
Can we take all your stuff?
- Yes daddy
- Remind me tomorrow
these kind of creepy stuff make me more glad I’m on iPhone.
Oh sweet summer child
Apple is also joining the ‘AI’ game. They have been bragging about all their ‘AI’ garbage in their new phones. That is specifically why I just got rid of my iPhone. I’m happy with GrapheneOS where they don’t want my info, and have shown no signs of wanting to shove ‘AI’ into any of my things.
This is why iPhone is better, bros :)
you know the iphone basically started this whole shit, right?
IPhone doesn’t have this “feature”
i meant using making adware the default form of software.
How so? I went from Android to iPhone and one of the biggest reasons I kept it was the lack of consumer-hostile intrusive bullshit that seems to be everywhere on Google and Samsung products.
by making the iphone. ads were not the primary source of revenue for applications before that.
Again, what are you basing that on? Many websites, games, etc. that had traditionally only been accessible on a desktop/laptop were already primarily using ads for monetization at that point (I should know, I was using a lot of them). Blaming Apple for simply making the first handheld devices capable of running similar software makes absolutely zero sense.
adware was definitely not the norm before smartphones. I’m not talking about websites, I’m talking about applications. when were games using ads for monetization?
If ya say so
Sucksung customers, iirc, at least have an option to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM that doesn’t phone corporates whatsoever. Iphones, tho, will always phone crapple, so that’s a questionable choice as well.
Lineage (privacy focused) & e/os (+de-googled) android is the way
Even supports like 2013(?) Phones with new security updates
At least a lot of phones that dont get software support anymore still have very good hardwareHahahahhahahha no, iPhone isn’t better.
Apple waits for android to cop the shit, then they do the same. Won’t be long untill they’re pushing the same thing to you iPhone people.
Nahhh this is never gonna be on iPhone
Hahah, okie dokie then.
Apple waits for android to cop the shit, then they do the same. Won’t be long untill they’re pushing the same thing to you iPhone people.
You left out Apple’s strongest point: and afterwards claiming they invented it.
Apple TV: No ads. Been around for over a decade.
Google TV: homescreen ads for a decade+ and even pushed onto Nvidia shield owners who originally may have bought the devices because Nvidia made a premium customized version without ads until they got tired of that and put ads in.
Apple has problems but ads aren’t a big one.
Neither big company is your friend. They both exploit workers and are both bad.
It’s just Google tends to be better at cutting edge bad like enabling genocide with their products and stuffing ads down the throats of people while Apple tries to maintain a crunchier appearance and vibe and is fine reaping 30% App Store fees on all transactions and making side loading very hard.
Apple rips you off on low storage and high costs to upgrade compared to Google/Samsung it’s definitely true.
Yet more discrimination against faceless people
