  • you can use web apps for banking, uber
    although uber and most banking apps work on grapheneos, check this community verified list https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

    for reviews, you can use gmaps webview https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/

    for navigation maps, you can use openstreetmap like magic earth and organic maps

    if you think osm doesn't have enough data of your area, then you can use herewego maps, its another proprietary map, but is a bit better than google on privacy

  • the ad based internet, as it is today was never supposed to work as some people will always block ads meaning more ads pushed to regular users and thus more people using adblock until we hit the break-even point and the site is forced to shut down or do the enshitification thing

  • phones gets updates over months which enhance or worsens the experience of the device

    eg pixel 6 got worse with updates and it didn't even get updated for 2-3 months I think and various poco phones had bad motherboard issues which only showed up after a few months

    in fact, it was common for pixel series to get widespread hardware issues like green screen on pixel 2, screen not placed evenly on pixel 5 and more, even though it got good "reviews" on YouTube because they were impressions

    users buy based on reviews thinking the device is good but that is just an impression

    and coming to the last line, why do you need to be bombarded with review videos?
    its ok if we get 1-2 device review

  • had me until the last line

    marques only does impressions and doesn't do reviews

    the only review he has done is the iPhone 13 pro 6 months later

    every other video is made with 2-3 weeks of usage(he gets device a few weeks before launch and uses beta version of software to make "reviews")
