Translation: influencers who wont say a bad thing about the product

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nah. Regular people. I am not an influencer and I got one of these emails. But I'm also not going to test their hardware for them.

I like pixel phones but I actually really really hate Gemini and I'm not buying the pixel 10. I think they're also attempting to get people who bought their phones previously but haven't bought one in awhile to use more of their stuff.

That's what i thought too. I filled out the questionnaire, but I'm not interested in upgrading my 7 and definitely don't want Gemini.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I was basically forced to upgrade to the 9 pro from the 8 when I dropped my phone about 25". I could either pay to have the shattered screen replaced or pay for a 9 pro with the discount. I immediate realized just how invasive Gemini had gotten and I miss my 8 every day. The 7 was too big for me, but it was a solid phone.

The one good thing about AI video. No reason to pay "influencers" when that content can just be (crappily) generated.
