Memories of Apple force pushing a U2 album to everyone's iPod (or maybe iPhone) back in the day.

Or the more recent memory of the F1 ad pushed via the wallet app.

That was a hilariously tone-deaf incident, but it's hardly comparable. Google pushed ads. Apple gave you a free album.

Yes, but a _U2_ album. An ad is 30 seconds of irritation, but a U2 album is like having broken glass sown under your skin.

[molybd3num]

yeah but you aren't forced to listen to it

[lisnake]

For people with no other albums, Carplay was playing that U2 album automatically when they enter their car. So some people were forced to listen to it :-)
