    Repeating “consumers are always right” isn’t a rebuttal.

    Consumers weren’t forced to buy iphones through monopoly or money. They did it because in general, they are stupid.

      It was more the second half of the last paragraph I was trying to drive home. I wanted to make a point about how the app market is a closed Eco system and how that is a form of abusive control to ensure people don’t have a choice even if they don’t like it. Yeah I’m sorry I didn’t put more effort the last reply, it I just kind of mentally moved on and wasn’t feeling it. I’m still not now honestly or I would of obnoxiously wrote you 8 more paragraphs.

      The way you framed it in your last sentence really reasonated with me and I understand your point now. Yes I agree some what, but no. I genuinely think people are smarter than you give them credit, but are limited by time, and are physically limited by the info the are presented. There’s a million different cultures and things happening at once and you have a narrow scope of vision where you are stuck in a demographic that is being advertised to and manipulated.
