Not on my phone or computer, and I am all in on their ecosystem. I was prepared to bail over their CSAM scanning plans and I can easily move forward with it for ads. The Pixel with Calyx is still quite functional.

I have an ethical line and it is my phone and computer are for my convenience, not a way to toss advertising toward me.

Go ahead Apple, test me. Ya almost lost me a year ago. And I am not alone in this, I think most of Apple’s user base would be quite intolerant of such a plan.

But you are probably one of a handful of people who would switch ecosystems over an ad for a business in Apple Maps.

Most people have significant amounts of lock-in impeding such a move.

Before almost every startup dev in the world was on Macs, only a handful of people were using anything but Windows on the pro desktop... Macs were widely derided for well over a decade, even after OS X and the eventual Intel switch. And then suddenly there was critical mass and they kinda weren't anymore. Nobody in 1997 would've seen that coming, but mistakes that push a handful of people there and a handful of people there to new things have a way of compounding over time.

(Look at how people talk about Google today vs 10 years ago, too, for instance.)

A privacy respecting OS on google hardware is just controlled opposition. Please don't buy a new pixel if there is any other option (and there are a few for most use cases).
