I’m 100% against ads. I pay to not see them. I think advertisers would pay 10x for 👀 compared to what they currently pay.
I’ve been using a MacBook for my work for years now (not voluntarily). I’ve always had a Windows desktop as my main machine. Your experience is completely different from mine. I’ve found that it’s easy to use the MacBook, so long as I want to do things the way Apple dictates. With Windows, I can discover and tweak my own processes to work the way I want to. With Apple I feel entirely boxed in.
All that being said, I think the whole discussion can get ridiculous. It shouldn’t bother anyone one way or the other which product someone prefers, and most of the time, it sounds like a Pepsi vs Coke argument to me.
