> Apple will be landscaped and taken care off for years and not arbitrarily abandoned and turned into a drug den

Exactly. And to anyone complaining about Apple fees. Get this in your head: running that ecosystem costs money. I get it that sometimes crap slips through, no system is bulletproof. But that's where the cut goes to. Yeah, we can discuss if it's 15 or 30 percent. But you at least get a human to communicate with on the other side.




Sorry, what? Are you talking about the iOS App Store that's been an unmitigated dumpster fire for like a decade? I don't even open the thing, ever. It's so filled with flaming garbage that I will only find and acquire an iOS app via reddit, HN, or AlternativeTo.


I don't know what you are talking about. This isn't my experience and I valued human contact some years ago when I was doing iOS development myself. Not my experience. However, I appreciate that my experience may not reflect the experience of another iPhone user.


It’s also important to add that whilst it does happen that Apple bans accounts from at least my anecdotal evidence is that it’s far more common with Google and then you’re pretty royally fucked.

What’s the point of suffering walled garden if it’s not even bulletproof?


> > And to anyone complaining about Apple fees

Hackers don’t complain about fees they complain about the inability to have such fees subsidized by Fortune500 companies.

This is what happened for years when hackers and wiseguys would pirate Microsoft products…up in Redmond they just kept the score and passed the bill onto the big corporate clients who’d never pirate anything out of fear of lawsuits.

This is how things work in every realm, the catious elite subsidise the risktaking poor.


Good point.
