This made me laugh and reflect on how much I do this too.
funkyguakamole
ME TOO! I just realized how pathetic we are.

Upvote for knowing my life.

How could you possibly commit to something like 'always'? Its just too much pressure.
craychel
I click "always", but then it wants me to go in and change some settings and that's just too much effort so I keep clicking "just once".
CrimsonKingKiller
My phone automatically chooses a default program after my new update and it makes me wildly uncomfortable every time.
SiRoj90
I just started the "always" option to see what regretting it feels like.
DoctorWhatsMyNameAgain
Is nobody going to comment on the resolution? I feel like most of these are blurry as fuck and this one is magically clear.
Pawnderlust
My mother in law thinks the phone is bugged or crashing every.single.time. that pops up.
SOpraHB
Also just noticed the title typo. Of* not if
Red5689
I had to scroll back up to find it
AStaleDonut
Oh i'm going down that path, mines 4 months in ! I sure know I will always use "just once"
EJ9utah
I did the "always" option for YouTube, and I've regretted it ever since
Allforthecats
With my new system update it doesn't give me the choice for "just once" anymore. I miss having the choice every time.
bringingclawstoagunfight
It drives me nuts now.
manwhoclaimstobedoctorbutisnt
Yes. That type of commitment is just not something I'm prepared for at this point in my life. I'm mid-30s. And a doctor.
joecool2931
Coming up on 3 years, finally clicked always...regretted it hard for about 15 secs. Now I don't even remember when it would pop up.
JulieKablooie
It's really nice for when I accidentally click on an ad.
RupertRuari
that's a weirdest "so other people do that to" i found... i did not expect that
andrewbert
Oh man I thought I was alone. You never know when you're gonna watch a YouTube video on chrome despite never having done it before
Drougals
I hot always and it asks me every time anyway
FacemanPeck
I have to. When I click the other option it tells me to go set that as the default... and I don't know how.
Jukior
I know. I'm 19 but idk how to work this bullshit technology
SirArkhon
No, what it does is set that application as default, and tells you that, if you want to, you can reset defaults in the settings menu.
nix740
I was literally just thinking about why I do this earlier today
MorganFreemason
I have the option for a few years and I still won't make this kind of commitment.
Pasare
because i don't want youtube to get all excited with shit when i'm on mobile data.
DrPopping
Literally why I do the same thing, it won't play videos in the app on mobile data but will in browser.
dbrsong
I just can't commit, damn it! I mean... WHAT IF!
glitterwank
You never know, one day you could need that alternative. And then what do you do? Erase all app preferences like a barbarian!?
CryoSleeping
Only a savage would do something like that...
IAmCabbageLord
This is exactly my fear
howaboutthisonethen
You mean all those app preferences you don't have?
TheBalto
You only need to remove the default for that specific app involved, not everything.
gondring
How?
TheBalto
Apps - (find the app with the default) - App info - Clear defaults
FartsSmellBad
I can't deal with that level of easily reversed commitment
zeiss74
But is it easily reversed? Android seems to imply the only way to reverse it is to reset all app defaults.
Amb1verse
Why do you think that's implied? You can reset the defaults for any individual app much easier than doing it on all apps at once
FartsSmellBad
I guess you have to reset the app in question as default for all its actions but you can easily redefault it for whatever next time it asks
zeiss74
Oh, I thought you had to reset all apps for all file types.
Belgiandude
Doesn't matte, I have my phone 3 years; and I still click always use this program for this application.
SOpraHB
You sir live life way to dangerously for me.
hellangel28
If you really wanna use the semicolon, you should remove the "and"
KeyLimeAnxiety

TheThingsTheyCarried
This sentence is a mess.
forgottenfigment
The joke is that it always asks even though you've made your decision the first time. It's the same for me.
GodOfDeathAndAlsoKungFu
Yeah, what's up with that? Is it asking about the specific link you are following instead of the type?
BobRossHappyTrees
Not only that, but there's the follow up message about where to go to undo the setting. Clicking the Just Once option saves time.
BobbityRoss
Same! Is it a samsung? Cause it drives me crazy that it asks me everytime, and I've hit always use everytime. So annoying!
icanmakeayomamajokeoutofanything
It's as bad as my kids. Asks the same question over and over even though I've answered dozens of times.
yourcommentisstupid
OP said he clicks just once. The joke is that he doesn't commit to a single app.

That's just the beginning of my commitment issues.
erischilde
I would, but i'm afraid to commit to being part of any club for an unspecified amount of time :/
HoldingMcGroin
I'm on about 4 years as well I get it. Fuck having to commit, especially when variety is the spice of life.
zeiss74
6 years.
note2scott
We'll call the club the non-commitals... Nah never mind let's not.
ShakeDogResurrected
We'll leave it open for discussion in case a better name comes up.
paigeunicorn
there are dozens of us!!
CoughedupFurball
DOZENS!!
SOpraHB
Right? That time might come where you don't want it to use one and if you clicked always you're just screwed.
Schiribiz
Ok, I thought i was alone in this. Maybe there's a bigger issue like we are too hesitant..also because I always use the same app after all..
racux
Also regularly clear app preferences to make sure
Mulluck
Been waiting 2-3 years for that time that MIGHT come
suspiciousballoons
Naw because you have to go into the settings and push buttons and ain't nobody got time for that
mirdreams
Have you ever installed and deleted a program that does the same thing just to avoid digging into the settings to fix this?
SOpraHB
I've got shitposts to make. There's no time for "settings"
PleasantlySurprised
TIL I am not alone in this. The one time someone borrowed my phone and clicked a link and selected always I nearly unfriended them.
InspiredUser
Wow, me too guys, it doesn't matter what phone i have. Pansy life.
DoingItWrongSince1980
Unlife them.
sbk44444
That's the only way to go. Then unknow them
partytime4321
But why? Doesn't always being asked bother you? I would go insane if my iPhone offered me a choice
avaflava513
No, I want the choice. Every time.
Schiribiz
Even if, after all, I use the same app every time.
ADepressingFacetOfMyExistentialExistence
I like how "unfriend" is a verb and a threat now
SwarthyBastard
I thought it was funny that it referred to not being friends with someone rather than deleting them on facebook
everythingset
You can change it back!!
InspiredUser
That's a lot of work.
gondring
How?
everythingset
Settings apps. Top right corner app preferences clear
Turner78
Wait until you upgrade to Marshmallow you no longer get the option It asks which program and automatically sets your choice as the default.
jerkyclock
That's not true it still asks me every time unless I chose the default. Nexus 6p phone
Turner78
My s6 doesn't give me that option. You choose once and bam that's your default app.
jerkyclock
Damn that sucks
mcshady
Thats alright, it keeps fuckin' asking you anyway. YES I WANT TO OPEN THIS PICTURE WITH THE GALLERY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!
viila
YOU SAID YES TO A JPEG, BUT THIS WAS A PNG SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN!! OH HEY LOOK, A GIF! WHICH PROGRAM WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO OPEN THAT?
mcshady
*rages internally*
SOpraHB
I accidentally clicked it once and suffered a brief existential crisis.
isthisnametakentoo
But I remember that fear as well
idontenglishsorry
do you know how to change that? i know that it always say where to change that, but i have never read it, and at this point i dont 1/2
idontenglishsorry
have any more app that would ask me that
boltgolt
settings > apps > [the app you want to un-always] > clear defaults
IsDisassembled
I've clicked it and it still prompts me. I just gave up.
wknr
It will prompt again if you install a new app that uses the same protocol, or uninstall the previous primary app for it.
isthisnametakentoo
It's fairly easy to undo
gondring
How doES one undo it?
rancidasscookies
go to settings>apps>click on the app you were using when you accidentally disavowed> clear defaults.
rancidasscookies
ie, using chrome to look up video and accidentally clicked 'always' for using YT app>>>> go into apps > chrome > clear defaults.

Victim42
No. I have my tenth Android phone now and I'd hate to be asked every time. I also make that decision for others.
GlowingBalls
Yeah, it is. When more than one app can open a certain type of file, you can either choose a default app or choose manually every time.

NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior

KeeleonOhms
Apple has already decided you are too dumb to make big decisions like that.
Victim42
It's you who can't make that decision. Why do you insist that have to be asked every time? It's two questions, not one.
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
It asks when you're in a different app and want to open in youtube or go to the site, or open in google drive for me.
GrandHofTarkin
You made me smile
KeeleonOhms
Of all the things people complain about Apple, My biggest complaint is they are pushing us closer to Idiocracy.
StarrrryNight
Apple has decided if you want to watch a video, it's pointless asking you what you want to view it in, just play the fucking video.
KeeleonOhms
No they just only let you watch videos in a single format. Just because you don't understand there's more options out there than mp4, doesn
KeeleonOhms
T meann its not incredibly limiting and close minded. If you want media in a different format on Apple, "too bad" is the answer.
teddyz
Well apparently it helps to avoid the issue op is having so it's not all bad.
KeeleonOhms
It's not we don't like the xhoice, it's that a better choice might come along and it's frustrating to switch once you've clicked "always"
schleimkeim
Spoken like a true apple user.
SchloobySnack
Who said it's a problem? It's about having a choice.
InsaneRene
Depending on what it is, I leave it as an option. Recently moved to Samsung and it makes the commitment for you. I hate that!
thegroovygatsby
That's strange, I have an s6 edge and it still asks me.
InsaneRene
My s7 edge asks without an option to set as default and it sets it for me.
rebeccaisafish
My Samsung doesn't
InsaneRene
Which Samsung is it?
rebeccaisafish

Need something with the build quality of an HTC, OS of a Nexus, and features of a Samsung.
wyatt8740
Nexus 6 has great build quality - what are you talking about?
coromd
So the HTC 10?
SpudStud
The Nexus 6p has amazing build quality, plus a finger print scanner, NFC, micro USB type c and everything else needed for the next 2-3 years
SpudStud
It is a little on the large side however
wyatt8740
USB type C? thanks but I'll stick with my N6.
