It would appear that people hate criticism of Apple on this platform, based off of the downvotes. I am slightly surprised at that tbh. And I additionally beleive that just makes the point in the video about Apples “holier than thou” mentality more evidently true.
Folks, they are just another Corpo, please stop simping for them because they promised you the world. It’s all just sweet nothings and the evidence consistantly shows that.
What? Random positive or neutral news gets vote bombed on Apple communities too.
Lemmy is weird. It’s not uncommon to see relevant posts downvoted in a variety of communities.
Here’s one about Edge getting faster from today. It feels like at the worst, it should sit at zero upvotes.
I would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.
Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)
A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don’t like.
It’s just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.
nah I think it’s Linus
My guess is the downvotes are for Linus’ face.
Or for linking an LTT video. I’m also not a fan, but I’m not going to downvote a relevant post just because I don’t like the presenter.
Oh ok, if that’s what it was actually about, I get disliking the format/channel. But I completely agree with you about not downvoting a relevant post.
LTT unfortunately has gone the way of easy engagement via ragebait and low hanging fruit. I don’t blame them - they have a lot of staff and lovely people to keep employed… but they aren’t the scrappy diy because why not guys they were back before Linus media. It was the right business choice … but a lot of us just can’t stomach the change. It’s like a good friend gone alcoholic.
2 ads when Linus mentioned candy crush. There is zero flow to youtube anymore
DOWNVOTED CUZ I LUV APPLE
