Google bought Android, but did not kill it. Same with YouTube. But, I admit, there are a lot more examples of the other way...

True, but they are currently in the process of further locking hobbyists out of it.


Yeah it's not totally dead. But they definitely killed what made Android great. Now it might as well just be iOS. Same boring ass phones that do nothing well but install spyware apps, consume content and scroll through social media. Just more trash for the landfill.


Spot on!
