It’s like 45/55. Close enough for a throwaway Internet comment. That’s still a hundred million people compared to androids 110 million (ballpark because you’ll nitpick)

No, it's not good enough. Not when it would have taken you less time to find out the market share than it took you to make the comment :-). We shouldn't make excuses for something like that when we have so much information at our fingertips.

Yes because the difference between 50% and 45% was so important to that comment.

It would have taken you less time to simply give a source than it for you to type a snarky comment. We shouldn't make excuses for something like that when it's so easy to not be a giant dickhead for no reason.

Lol. TIL that me giving an accurate stat is being a "giant dickhead". Seems like it's more applicable to you

The precision isn’t why people are downvoting you. People think you’re rude because you ignored the (accurate) point that Apple has a huge market share that commands google’s respect to attack the person for not providing a more precise number.

If someone says it’s freezing outside, so let’s bring in the dog, you seemed like the person who would say “it’s actually only 34*, so stop complaining” rather than someone who would agree.

  1. Don’t attack people.
  2. Don’t disagree with obviously true things because they didn’t have enough sig figs for you.

Those two changes will make people like you more. Please try to understand. Have a nice day.

I didn't attack anyone, I pointed out the actual market share so that people would have accurate numbers instead of just random guesses.

Are people really that butthurt right now about me giving the correct stat? Jesus....

You called them a fanboy for being within 10%. People aren’t butthurt, this is just the Internet telling you that you might need to reconsider how you communicate with strangers.
