We just need to realize that there is only have been two viable platform for apps since smartphones exists, and as such some decisions should not be in Apple/Google hands anymore at this point, some subjects should fall in the public space. 3.5 billion people are using smartphones today, and we shouldn't being told what to do by a few exec-dudes and their shareholder friends.
If Basecamp wants to do publish an email app - it's not porn, it's not racism, it's not bad - and that iOS users also want it, Apple should not be in the way.
I publish on the App Store and frankly I'm happy to benefit from the hosting / payments / search and I'm ok to pay a price for that - even if 30% is huge - but if some don't want that let them do what they want, it's not Apple to decide that anymore.
- Sargos 6y agoWhy is porn excluded? Should people not be allowed to install apps that deal with sex? If Apple does not allow sex apps then a significant chunk of the population will be denied access entirely to something because Apple doesn't approve of "those apps". Adults have the right to choose whether they want those apps or not.
