another perspective: FB's big mistake was paying these users too little.
if FB had paid, say, $2000 a month instead of $20, the users would have been angry at Apple for forcing such a program to stop. FB would look like a force for good.
instead, FB cheaped out.
- enedil 8y agoThere are so many places on the world where $2000 a month is more than most people get. Of course they didn't pay that much. I would probably consider it seriously given that currently I get about $800 and that is still considered average.
- HillaryBriss 8y agoBut that's a great example! If FB were paying you $2000 a month as a participant in this FB program, and then suddenly Apple made it so that FB could no longer operate this program -- would you be unhappy with FB or with Apple?
- aaomidi 8y agoI still think it would've been an issue to do that for kids as well. They should've just targeted 18+
- ivanbozic 8y agoBut paying such a large amount would certainly draw more attention to the program itself? It might have caused a ruckus earlier and be shut down in the very early stages by Apple. At that point it might not have affected that many people and not so many people would be angry at Apple. I believe the amount was a way of treading a fine line between being a significant amount for the targeted audience, but not too much to attract too many people.
