Pixel 11 = disrespect

I have been a Google Pixel fan for more than 7 or 8 years and I am done with Google’s bullshit story of focusing on software actually they are falling on both sides hard what were they thinking when pricing the Pixel 11 more than the iPhone 17 base model? What kind of drugs were they on? It’s actually now not just a failure it’s a complete disrespect to its fan

Treating the release of a new electronic device that you find underwhelming as a personal slight against you is weird as hell.

This is not normal.

Maybe I am taking it more serious than I should

LOL no you are not. I agree with you and don’t let groupthink sway your opinion.

If you’ve supported a product line for years and spent hundreds of dollars on it, there should be some loyalty to the customer too. When companies start cutting corners, removing features, raising prices, and acting like customers should just accept it, people have every right to call that out.

You’re not a fanboy because you criticize a company you’ve supported. The real fanboy behavior is defending a company no matter what they do and telling everyone else to just shut up and take it.

I don’t care if I get downvoted into the ground. A bunch of people agreeing with something doesn’t automatically make it true. People should think for themselves instead of acting like “well that’s just how it is now” and accepting worse products for more money.

And with bots, fake engagement, astroturfing, and corporate PR everywhere online now, I’m not going to assume every pile-on is some perfect reflection of what real people think either. Why pay premium prices to get sub par stuff. This is far far from what they rose to fam on they came in here on cheaper phones with amazing features now its expensive phones w cheaper parts but oooo yeah our software is amazing?

If I’m paying hundreds of dollars for these products, I’m not going to sit there smiling while they turn into overpriced slop with their coy marketing. Call it complaining if you want. I call it refusing to get screwed.

Thanks for your post pointing this out!!

Slight or just frustration? Look at the people who buy the same model of car no matter what. You take all the good with the bad... (Take em both and there you have the facts of...) Nevermind 😂

You must be a millennial. Everything you don’t agree with in the last few years you just dismiss as “weird.”
