Like what? I don’t think Apple, Google or Samsung care about whether you download Facebook. It’s not like they’re making money off it.
Oh they aren’t? Showing people having a good time, creating feelings of missing out, dopamine hits from cute videos and liking disliking content? Hmm why does Samsung have Facebook preinstalled? For fun? Google doesn’t run ads through nearly everything done online?
I hope you’re young.
Ok I did forget Samsung preinstalls Facebook but Google running ads has nothing to do with Facebook. All the major social media platforms have their own ads. It’s in Googles best interests for people to not use Facebook because it would devalue Facebook ads. Also the original comment was about whether phones are made specifically to “promote behaviors”. You seem to be conflating social media companies and phone manufacturers.
Oh right. Smartphones are only used for calling and texting. My bad. You guys are right. Phones are awesome.
Are you being obtuse on purpose? Phones (including smartphones) were not created to get people on social media. Everything you said is stuff social media companies do.
What’s a smartphone’s purpose?
To be a portable computer. They do so much more than open social media. You can learn new information on Wikipedia, read the weather predictions, organize you calendar, edit a spreadsheet, play games, etc. All from the palm of your hand. As someone who grew up in the time before smartphones, it’s truly magnificent how fast we’ve progressed and where we are now.
