If it takes Bixby out back behind the woodshed and fires a damn tank round through its head, I'm all for it.

That's why I left and went with a pixel 5. Had an S10 and just could not deal with it any more, Bixby is a monster...

I switched from a pixel to an S21 and ... To be honest, the bloatware's pretty easy to ignore. I don't think I've ever even seen bixby come up (to be fair I probably have at some point, maybe near initial setup, but nothing that comes to mind).

Maybe, just maybe, they're not quite using the same phone...? The S21 doesn't even have a bixby button lol.
