Anyone know why my Mac is running hotter than usual??

I just had it professionally cleaned of dust since its an older model a couple months ago. It isn't running any unusual programs but the fan is kicking into hyperdrive after like 5 minutes now and the bottom is hot to the touch. The hot air is coming up through my keyboard too. I am very concerned since this is super unusual for it.

Apple has recalled some 2015 macbooks because the battery overheats. It seems to be a recurring problem for apple

@SooperSarah recall notices in 2012, 2014, 2015 too
@yorkiemanuk plus all the years they weren't pressured to issue recalls and opted to just screw over their customers.

@SooperSarah oh i know what the recalls were like, i have worked in two Service Providers over the years, Apple just can't keep up with how many recalls there actually were
@yorkiemanuk yet people will keep buying their overpriced inferior junk as a status symbol. I just don't get it.

@SooperSarah i dont see it as junk, but uneeded, i have a macbok air, and really like to use it, i would NEVER buy an iPhone though, they are just soo overpriced
@yorkiemanuk when you realize apple is a fashion company and not a tech company it all makes sense. Who else would release a phone that loses its signal if you do something silly like hold it in your hand?
People are catching on It's gotten so bad apple won't even release iphone sales numbers to its investors. What other company would survive if it said to its investors "just take our word for it, we're doing great."

@SooperSarah h i completely agree with you there, i know all too well what Apple are like, especially having virtually worked for them and seeing what their rules are, the can be so manipulative at times
