Great timing given I just installed SwiftKey since Microsoft has started embedding ads and dark pattern redirects to Bing!

You meant uninstalled, right ?

It’s unfortunate that the Bing team at Microsoft has so much power. They destroy products for the glory of Bing, and some money. Perhaps it’s about the money. But I feel like Microsoft doesn’t have to make a lot of money on everything they do.

Has to be. I jumped from SwiftKey the moment I heard Microsoft bought it, back in '14 IIRC.

Hahaha, yes. Though now I'm imagining an incredible alternative world where I only install the most enshittified pieces of software.

Assuming you mean uninstall, yeah I did the same because of that.

I wasn getting a constant panel from them regarding using the backup feature, that will just keep re appearing.

It was so bad I even moved to GBoard. Not the same, but I'm getting used to.
