Why I Hate Samsung

I'm a very passionate person. I'm crazy about the Eurovision Song Contest, the Three Body Problem trilogy, and music. But passion goes both ways, and as much as I deeply love some things, I also deeply hate others. In a recent post I acknowledged my deep hatred of advertising, but I also hate - for example - the entire state of Florida and Samsung. (Note: none of these are related.)

In fact, I am known for how much I hate Samsung, and I wear that like a badge of honor.

Occasionally I'll mention this fact, and lately several people have asked me to elaborate. I've touched on most of these reasons over the years, but never in a single place, so in this post allow me to consolidate my reasoning and get curious readers up to speed on exactly why Samsung has earned a spot in my personal hatred hall of fame.
