Some people here like to down vote for random nit picky reasons I've noticed or because they fanboy over certain topics and hate on anything that questions it. I also noticed people on the internet like to tear at anything, regardless of what they believe just because that's how they are.

You're correct. I personally disagree with the idea that buying hardware from Google for this is a good thing though. I'd rather buy slightly less secure hardware that I feel aligns more with my ideals and not need to hack it.
Promoting Google phones is def a major issue I have with it. I just happened to already have one and wanted to continue to use it without all the Google shitware and "services" they force on them. I'm planning on voting with my wallet for my next phone, but I already paid for this hardware and want to use it for as long as I can.
I had no idea these issues existed before I decided to switch to it. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth as well. The only thing that makes me glad is installing Graphene was a stop gap so that I felt comfortable continuing to use this phone. My plan was to switch to something else with my next hardware choice and this helps solidify that decision.
Edit: I'm guessing the downvote is more sock puppet action?

I would love for them to finally be regulated / dismantled.
Looks like I'd have to download it to watch it.
Not to mention both companies' practices of bots randomly kicking people out of their accounts with no human appeal.
Not saying it's the best course of action, but I've definitely left some accounts in the graveyards of the internet because the effort of deleting them was more than it was worth to me.
Depending on how Myspace handled their old data when they changed directions long ago, teenage me may or may not still have an account.
I was wondering the same. His reaction led me to believe that he was misremembering what it is.
