This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

People don't care. They buy whatever marketing tells them to buy. Lines around the block for the first iPhone when it was vastly inferior to the other phones of the day. Couldn't even use custom ringtones. Knew then that people really are sheep.

Nothing was superior to the iPhone when it came out. It successfully married multiple types of mobile device into one device. Not even ashamed to admit that while several other devices did the individual things it did better, nothing brought them together like that.

That said, modern smartphones are a bit ridiculous and the idea of spending $1200 every two years on a phone should be revolting to people. iPhone or Samsung, stop fucking doing this sheeple.

I had a Windows phone at the time that was vastly more capable. I could use any MP3 I wanted for a ringtone for starters. iPhone couldn't do that. iPhone was a Fisher Price children's toy in comparison.
