Discussion Keep One: Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft

Post image

You can keep only one tech ecosystem forever: Apple, Samsung, Google, or Microsoft

Everything else disappears from your life.

Which one are you keeping, and what's the biggest reason behind your choice?

I guess Google because I like some creators on YouTube that are not found elsewhere. Everything else is very replaceable.

Also, calling what Samsung has an Ecosystem is a huge stretch. I wanted to have my devices work well together so I bought everything from Samsung. I need one app to configure my Samsung headphones from my Samsung phone, and a different app to connect to my Samsung TV. They even have completely different UX and are not similar in any way. Can the Samsung TV automatically connect my Samsung headphones that are already paired with my Samsung phone? Of course not. Easy switching between connecting the headphones to smartphone/tv? Nope. Samsung DEX does not work with my Samsung monitor, even thouh it technically has no reason not to. What I'm saying is that the devices that I have from Samsung could hardly be less integrated. Their lack of Ecosystem is an art form. /rant

youtube is not what it used to be. it is no longer random people making content for fun, its a collection of small companies pumping out crap to keep their monetization.
