A while back I bought a Motorola phone (one of the Moto G-something series) for a family member because I used to have one and had a good experience with it.

I regretted that decision because soon that phone developed a bunch of warts that were a pretty obviously Motorola's idea to monetize their users. It was a constant source of problems. The peak was MotoApps that was constantly popping up with questions and installing random shit on the phone.

That pretty much put Motorola on my dont-buy list.
