I'm so, so glad I'm not American. I can't imagine growing up in a country where they teach you that companies are your friends and you should blindly defend and buy everything they say/produce. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some commie trash either. Hell I have a title in marketing myself and it's what I do for a living, I know how these things work, but to blindly accept everything thrown your way without taking two steps back to fully analyze and criticize where needed is just.. sad.
I mean, I'm a huge Motorola fag, I've been buying their phones for years, only once had a Samsung and hated it, so that reinforced my "Motorola is the best" mentality, but even so I can see that my latest phone isn't lasting as long as the previous one quality wise and has more problems than before, despite also being objectively more advanced than the previous. At first I thought "Well, I'll just buy another Motorola then, a new model" but then I thought "Why? Putting upgrades and improvements aside, they do feel cheaper each time, so why should I trust them?"
You should question things, even when it's something you genuinely like, you should take into account what's honestly best for you and not for the multimillion company you're willing to give money to. It's okay to be critical, it leads to improvement, it's beneficial. I'm not saying you should be violent or whiny about it, but simply stating your opinions and concerns is perfectly okay and shouldn't be shut down.
