This is the perfect example of cutting off one’s nose to spite the face.

All this bullshit about providing user experience is hilarious. You use the ad stack: Google AMP. This is an engineering cop-out.

There are no “good guy” companies. Stop electing obstructionists who have no interest in governing. Regulation is the only solution.

He’s lying. There is only one such comment and it is laughably obtuse. Influencing opinion without addressing the topic is exactly what Reddit is for.

I still use the iPhone SE as a daily driver and there is an active second-hand market for them. I understand that it's spare tech but this could be done by an SoC board that costs …
