You got the Jon Stewart treatment when Apple execs tried to suppress the segments on “AI” and “China”.

This company is completely ruined for me. Feels disgusting to have dumped nearly 6 figures into this company across a decade.

(this includes hardware, software, media, “App Store” purchases, merch, services, phones, music players)

It’s not much to the bottom line but to me I was in deep.

BTW, OP's anecdote is how it's always been at Apple. Definitely in the early 00's, and probably all the way back to the 80's. I've known a bunch of great open products die because the person behind them got a job at Apple and was not allowed to work on it while employed.

More of a reason why tech needs to be unionized. This shit has gone on for way too long.

I'm getting less and less impressed with the company, so I started diversifying. I got Linux installed on my desktop and started using it more often. Switched from Apple Music to Spotify. Got rid of my Apple Watch Ultra and switched to Garmin. Went from Things to TickTick since it's cross platform. From Notes to Notesnook for the same reason. I know it's a drop in the bucket and I'm still pretty invested, but they are steps towards independence should I decide to abandon their ecosystem altogether at some point.
