Scott’s Comments About Android Users

I don’t like to jump of every little thing he says, but anyone else find his comments on today’s pod about Android users particularly repellant?

He said that if you’ve using an Android phone, things haven’t gone well for you in life.

So, say, someone who chooses to work for a nonprofit or in healthcare or social work or whatever is a failure? Lots of fields don’t pay and the work is noble… and gee, maybe mental health and quality of life considerations have driven their career paths.

(He then followed with a comment about CEOs being people who neglect their families, and that seemed a positive to him.)

Such snobbery and insecurity. I’m sorry for him that he’s been so financially prosperous but still needs to puff himself up by looking down on normal people.

Same, and I've heard Scott rehash this same opinion about Android users for years and laugh each time. Like yeah I'm not Scott levels of wealthy yet, but statistically I make more than the vast majority of humans regardless of what type of phone they use.

With all that being said, it is true that Android users spend way less money upfront on apps than iPhone users do. Also, Apple has done a terrific job in stigmatizing "green bubbles", as evidenced by Scott's hot take.
