Yep, I think that this is a pretty accurate description.

I'm still personally a strong proponent of the "the device is mine, so I can do whatever I want with it" position (and if you live just about anywhere in the world except the U.S., it should be roughly similar, i.e., your personal freedom should be valued higher than the corporations' right to make money).

But whatever - the consensus is now to allow such discussions ("Special Offers - WTF?!") on an abstract level, but to discourage or even moderate them when it gets to concrete instructions ("How to remove the ads...").
