In general, the anti-apple cult is much stronger than the supposed pro-apple cult. I haven't seen people really give that much of a fuck about apple positively in years but if you prefer an iphone, some people insist you're obsessed with them.
on this site at least - you're absolutely right, and the fact that you're getting bombed with downvotes is pretty solid anecdotal evidence of that if nothing else lol
Don't get me wrong, I get just as annoyed by those who insist Apple can do no wrong as those who insist they can do no right. I just find it weird how pseudo-religious people can get about Apple. It seems like you're not allowed to just view them as another tech company. You have to either crusade against them, or else you're a paid apple shill
"BOMBED with downvotes"
They have three as of this post, chill out lol
At the time I made the comment, it was literally just those downvote and not one up vote(except the one by the OP), hence my comment
Its actually an interesting phenomenon I've noticed on reddit and now lemmy - if someone is getting down voted for something dumb like violating the circle jerk, if a child comment points it out, the downvote stop instantly and it starts being up voted 🤷🏼♂️
