We typically like Pixel phones a lot, but we have some reservations about Google’s quality control

    r/android comment section giving the expected behavior as usual. These news sites know how to be a puppet master, I’m telling ya.

    Webite wants to push pro Pixel discussion:

    Proceeds to drop a article with a sensationalist title that triggers said Pixel owners.

    Comment section is immediately filled with folks declaring how great their Pixel is.

    This tactic flip flops between OEMS. It’s generally in Samsungs favor but not always.

    Disclaimer: Idgf what phone you own. I’m only speaking on what is painfully obvious to me.

      This. These sites have said anti-Pixel articles far and away get the most clicks so they keep writing them.

      Great point.

      It’s so weird to me when people reply with “doesn’t happen to me”.

      And?

      That these things happen to people is a positive claim on their part. The idiots commentors saying it doesn’t happen to them don’t even realize their dispositive claim is meaningless.

        I have a pixel 8 that doesn’t have any issues, but I can read the title that says Google’s quality control is shit. So I can understand my phone is okay and other people have problems. Even if I bought 100 pixels, my sample size would still be too small to dismiss other people’s claims.

        Funnily enough, this is my first comment I’ve made about how my pixel is fine. So now I’m part of the problem :3
