I tried a Samsung phone a year or two ago. It lasted less than a day before I was so infuriated that I vowed never to use Samsung again. It is SO invasive and pushes so many ads and bloatware.

Why would anyone opt in 😭
Is this just so they can wait a few months and say, “Not enough people were discovering this Great Feature, so we’re enabling it by default”?
