8:26 i mean like yeah android exists but if google wanted to remove the app couldn't they also remove they app from their appstore if they wanted? yeah sure you could also install it with apk but i don't see that many people doing that.
The thing about Twitter is that there are alternative front ends that allow you to use the service on Android - I am not aware of any of these front ends on Apple. The APK route at least allows you more control over the DEVICE THAT YOU BOUGHT. The conversation needs to be "I bought this device, it is mine, why can I NOT do things that I want to do on it?"
@@JoshuaBlais yeah i agree that it is better and that's partly why i use android but i still think it's important to talk about the problems with android. I don't think android is that much better overall than ios.

I don't think its an argument of better in this case - it's moreso what allots the end user more freedom currently. Android wins in this regard.
@@JoshuaBlais yes
@@JoshuaBlais couldn't have said it better myself.
