"I blame RCA for television ads. If they hadn't made the first mass-market television set, we wouldn't have TV ads interrupting my morning cartoons!"
that's how you sound rn
except that's a dumb comparison. television sets did not also create the environment for broadcasting and set the main monetization model. Apple fucking did. they didn't just make the fucking phone, they created the fucking system, the fucking app store, and built-in fucking ad delivery system for the fucking apps. jobs boasted about it in the keynotes.
