I don't follow your logic. How would one's membership in a big tech ecosystem determine whether they get unsolicited pics? Or whether they feel they can jump out of those ecosystems?

> But do consider that the other 50% may have significantly different preferences on this matter

Or am I reading it the wrong way? 50% of people want to get those pics? That's either news to me, or I run in different circles than you do.

Either way, I don't feel that I'm evangelizing about it, I'm not telling everyone that they should do what I'm doing. I'm merely telling my experiences and what I've done.






@tetromino_ is expressing a prior that women are sent dick pics more frequently than men.

From that they infer that women might actually like a feature that blurs out dicks automatically (at least, more than men would).

From that they infer that your expressed dislike of that feature means it's likely you're a man.

From that they infer that you're not used to thinking like a woman, and encourage you to try doing that to see if you think it makes Google's actions make more sense.

(now, the real question - did I get "whooosh"ed, or did you?)

EDIT: To be honest, I don't particularly like the sarcasm of @tetromino_'s comment and I don't think your original comment deserved a response like that. But seeing two responses apparently totally miss @tetromino_'s point was too much for me to ignore.
