While the new UI offers mostly a bloatware-free experience, it’s the ads that are annoying. For starters, the pre-installed Weather App, although can be deleted, is LOADED with ads. The ad loading also causes the app to feel super jittery and slow. So, I’d get rid of that first. Secondly, it’s the Moto Hub, which is actually a hub of ugly ads and shady app recommendations.
There’s a Moto Hub home screen widget as well, which comes preloaded and shows ads. Moto Hub also spams you with not-so-appealing notifications. So, that’s the second thing you’d want to force stop since you can’t uninstall.
I am so tired of companies being allowed to shove ads everywhere!
Unfortunately, it will end up in companies double-dipping. Once consumers accept adds, you will see more of them, and for sure the money they get from ads is not fully reflected in the price reduction.
I do. Companies do seem to be adding them everywhere. Eventually everything will showcase ads because not enough consumers were against it. Apps that are part of the OS, imo, should not have any ads, regardless of price point for the device.
I miss the Moto Z days. Those were some excellent phones and being able to slap an extra battery on the back was amazing. Mods could’ve gone so much further if they put some more R&D in it

Lots of people like the idea of cheaper phones for a few ads. Luckily, you can protest this trend by simply not purchasing a phone that does this.

Read enough there to make me never consider Moto again. I miss the Moto X days
