Comparing those to having tiktok on your start menu without being able to remove it (like an Apple News notification, for example) is completely asinine. I use windows everyday and coming from LTSC, the ads on 11 have been very surprisingly gross. Which is a shame since I actually really like win11 a part from that. But I would take apple ads all day if I had a choice between the two.

I truthfully find them all a sickening distraction that attempts to steal my current context and thus, I really don’t distinguish between candy crush ads vs the apple ads as I find them all sickening.

I find the inability to distinguish from services like iCloud and one drive, services that supplement the os, to apps and adware like tiktok and candy crush, lacking of thought.
