Fine, you are not personally affected by it, but the social disparity that is highlighted by people's need to feel exclusive and yet part of a tribe is the reason.
That’s like complaining about not having any other premium branded item out there. If your not doing so filters people out of your life, well you just did yourself a favor.
Who gives a shit? It’s text messaging. These people need to go outside or something.
I don't disagree, just explaining it, and recognising it is the sub 25 year old age bracket explains a lot.
When you're a teenager and the people that are filtered out of your life are 80-90% of your classmates, it's a big deal.
Yeah I am sure having an android is filtering out upwards of 90% of your potential friends as a high school student /s
That is such an absurd claim it doesn't deserve a rebuttal.
