      ⁠​⁠@@Akac3sh “A corporation’s (first) obligation is to its shareholders" said (only) the conservatives on the Supreme Court. Corporations don't have our best interests as their priority either. People who pay attention can vote for the better choice. Boycotting a corporation that owns many "different" companies is much more challenging. Keep all of that in mind before you just default to repeating the deliberate "they're all the same" nonsense.

    I see a lot of comments saying it's a problem with the young being more tech-savvy than the old, or that you should (or should not) use a preinstalled store - and the video gives into that a little. But I'm pretty sure it's nothing related, and much more serious. Third-party stores are certainly not free from this kind of malware, and youre actually MORE liable to download some crap if you live in the "de-googled" ecosystem, because you often end up trying to run stuff without GMS or a dedicated store, or without a proper SELinux or SDK, because, like everyone else, you are somewhat stuck with banking apps for instance. My point is: we live in such a world, where a couple of companies have such immense power over everyday life that you're very much bound to make a bad choice at some point, and i feel the video brushes over it with a lot of bad faith. If you're just a run of the mill person running your play store on a recent phone, you've got quite a lot of safety measures implemented actually (knox is one of them, but apps on the play store are actually checked by paid people) god forbid I mention iOS - the phone is updated with the latest security patches, more and more toggles are needed for you to do a mistake... The phone will run like crap (or will, eventually) because it's full to the brim with bloatware, but here you go. Now compare this to someone running, say, Lineage without GAPPS, on a phone that's not so young, as is usually the case, because firmwares take time to release - if they ever do. You might miss a lot of security patches. You're stuck with a variety of open stores, which rely on volunteers to review the apps, which is in itself a huge liability, as demonstrated by the xz-utils meltdown. So, yeah, you might be less likely to click on any shady link than your average Joe, but I wouldn't say you're more protected by default, especially when trying to run some code somebody online wrote arguably to patch an app to work without GMS, or if you rooted your phone - not mentioning we all pretend to ignore that the ROMS distributed on XDA or elsewhere might be some dangerous horsecrap in and of themselves.
    In summary we're all victims of the state of affairs: normies might fall into social engineering traps because that's actually the vast majority of the scams going on today (on instagram, telegram and whatnot) because their confidence is way too high, but also because they feel like they don't have a choice to download on - say, rustore. But the same goes for "us": because we try to escape an all-controlling mob of big companies, we end up screwed by people who try to take advantage of the ecosystem trying to survive behind the big stores. I feel like the video fails to show that this piece of malware might just as well be aimed at the tech-savvy.

      It’s usually the other way around unless you use a good custom distribution.

    i remember this one night i was scrolling aimlessly, feeling like i had hit rock bottom. it felt like nothing i wanted was ever going to happen for me. i don’t know why, but i clicked on this link about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it drew me in. the more i read, the more i felt like it was written just for me. it’s wild how much a single book can change your perspective.
