And that's why I've also included "www.apple.com/feedback" in most of my replies. People are apt enough to complain in a forum, perhaps they should apply that same energy and submit it directly to the company responsible for developing the product. I guarantee 90% of the people complaining in this forum have not once submitted anything to www.apple.com/feedback
re:feedback.com..
i'm pretty sure apple is very well aware of what's going on.. it's their system.. they designed it.
plus, they just finished a 2year lawsuit with this stuff.. me saying something there is irrelevant..
besides that though, my complaints are more geared at this thread.. this is where i see the biggest problem.. and if these bigger problems can be solved amongst us, then the secondary problems (scams etc.) will lesson automatically..
everybody thinks everybody is stupid.. and the people they think are stupid thinks the other person is stupid.. and on it goes.. we are all stupid.. as a whole, that's how we see ourselves..
we are taught a certain way.. read a book- write a report on it.. memorize this- tell me the right answer.. i mean, that's the proper way to learn right?
so then, the population is saturated with content showing how stupid people are.. and we learn about our culture that way.. reality shows, the news, sitcoms, youtube and tv shows which farm youtube for the best content of the day.. look. we ALL have youtube moments in our lives.. and there are a lot of cameras out there.. odds are, enough people are going to be caught doing stupid stuff on tape that day to fill an hour slot on tv..
but the way we feed on it.. they way we were taught to feed on it is we watch it then give our report.. "people are stupid" A+...
and that very behavior is evidenced in this thread.. way too many oneliner "bad parents".. "idiots".. type of things going on.. which shows me, they saw the headline, had a gut reaction, and gave their report..
but it's like nobody (not everybody obv) allows for a tiny little pause in there between seeing the headline and reporting.. this has happened to reportedly 22million people.. we have enough people in this thread - on a tech forum- telling of it happening to them.. this has happened to a far greater % of the population than should be required for nearly everyone to raise a red flag..
but it's not.. and that's because we're all stupid.. i mean, of course this is happening.. bunch of idiots running around out there.. it's our own damn fault (well, theirs anyway)
this could of happened to anybody in the right situation.. a n y b o d y..
you're not smarter than them.. you got lucky and dodged the scam but it was right there in your pocket all along..
if you love apple so much then you have to play a bigger role.. it's not bad of you to question apple and call them out when they are wrong.. that's a good thing to do.. that's you parenting apple and it's what needs to happen.. i mean me personally, i'm along the lines of "look mr. apple.. i am happy to pay your apple tax provided you continue producing kickass computers and software.. but this sneaky crap you're pulling with the app store is going too far.." and that's that..
but the only way we can start to make stuff like this happen is by -- quit thinking everybody is stupid.. it's toxic and it hurts us all.
