  Because in this society, being a green bubble can lead to social exclusion.

    That’s a Society, more to the point, an US Society problem. I’ve never heard of such vanity before.

      Yeah, is that truly the reason people are giving? Because that’s genuinely insane. I live in the US and I’ve never heard or even considered that.

        There was a study iirc that found that people are more likely to swipe left on dating apps if you have an Android. Thankfully, I don’t think most people are like this, but enough are for it to be a problem.

        I don’t care though, people who think like that are not worth my time anyway.
