i’m not defending it. literally the first thing i said was that users shouldn’t have to do this.
and it’s not the tailored experiences, i’m talking about the “feature” that puts web results in the start menu search.
all i did was add some nuance to the conversation and you’re crucifying me over it because i didn’t pile on the circlejerk.
Yes I am. Saying "its not that bad, it only takes thirty seconds" is literally defending shoving ads down our throats and making them hard to remove. That way of thinking deserves to be crucified. Ads have no place living on an OS.
Because its fucking mind boggling people would ever even provide an excuse for this. Why? Even if it did take thirty seconds, why? I would still curse it.
