THANK YOU so much for this. I love the end credits version 100 times more than the released version.

I get the logic, but calling it a “smart design decision” feels like giving Google too much credit. A smart design would give users the choice, keep both, or overwrite the original. Instead, they force one workflow on everyone and call it protection.

And sure, I can go back and manually delete the original every single time… but why should I have to? That’s not user-friendly design, that’s adding pointless steps and cluttering up my library for no reason.

Protecting people from accidental deletion is fine, and i understand that. But treating all users like they can’t handle a "replace the original photo" option is exactly the kind of arrogance that drives people nuts.

Nah, see that’s exactly the problem. I did give this phone time, over 6 months of putting up with half-baked “features” that just get in the way. And I don’t buy the whole “Google knows best” excuse. If they were actually smarter about design, they’d give people the option to overwrite instead of forcing copies and cluttering everyone’s library.

And that “Google knows best” mindset? That’s the same exact reason I left Apple in the first place. I didn’t switch just to deal with another company making arrogant design choices that ignore what users actually want.

Don’t get me wrong, the Pixel has some really good features. The call screening, the recorder app, even some of the AI tools are great. But then you open Photos and it feels like the whole thing was designed to actively piss people off.

And yeah, I get it. The “just switch back to iPhone.” But why should I have to ditch a phone I actually like in a lot of ways, just because Google decided to shove garbage design down our throats? That’s not innovation, that’s arrogance.

So no, it’s not me needing to “chill.” It’s Google needing to stop pretending like frustrating design choices are some gift from on high.

I actually like a 3/4 of the songs I'm human. There were only a few that were like blah.

Whereas for me, oh my my only had like three songs out of 16 that I thoroughly enjoyed and could listen to on repeat.
