I felt like a right noobie when one of my colleagues said he’d got a Pixel tablet via the Play Store and asked him how he’d won it.
Apparently I don’t install and play shittons of games like them.
£500 was tempting to look into it further but as you say, that news pissed me off because I now know my mum is gonna install some bullshit that one of those guys might have picked up on.
That hardware giveaway thing is only available in couple of countries right now, US being one. Otherwise, one can be a Platinum member in other parts of the world and they would get nothing.
I read this and this alone must be an enough reason to avoid Google play

Reading this made me think about the amount of trackers your friend had in his phone during this process…
Yep yep I bought a family member a couple of those fancy GLi routers that come with AdGuard built in.
It’s scary what a household’s tracked without it would look like, and they are none the wiser to the shit getting sinkholed to this day thankfully.
I’m down to 10% bollocks via NextDNS
and aim to bring it down further by dumping any apps/services that want to bum fugg me.
When I used to use Firefox forks on my mobile, ublock once blocked nearly 10k thing in a month or less … this was such a surprise to me …
