Any percentage is acceptable if Spotify isn't forced to pay it. Any percentage is also acceptable if Apple wasn't directly competing with Spotify.

- endisneigh 6y agoIsn’t Spotify benefiting from Apple devices? If not, then they can simply not be on Apple devices right? If they are benefiting, then is it unacceptable for them to pay for the benefit?
- kryptiskt 6y agoIs Apple benefiting from selling in the EU? If they want to benefit from Europe, they got to obey the rules.
- endisneigh 6y agoI agree completely, but for now they are following the rules. I’ll be happy to see the EU ban percentage based fees and make all platforms open.
- simion314 6y agoIs not about the percentage, are you aware that you can't even mention you can buy a subscription from the website in the iOS application? Apple does not allow alternative app stores and is actively blocking you to inform of alternative methods of payment.
- endisneigh 6y agoYeah I’m aware of those things. The EU should ban those things as well. Like I mentioned I’d like to see no percentage fees and all platforms open.
- acta_non_verba 6y agoSide note: Please stop using EU and Europe interchangeably, they are not the same thing. 100s of millions of people live on the continent of Europe, but not in the EU.
- kryptiskt 6y agoI'll do that when US people stop using America and Americans to describe themselves.
- acta_non_verba 6y agoYes, disenfranchising hundreds of millions of people on the European continent sure gets those Americans
- anoncake 6y agoWhy? That's hardly the fault of, say, the Swiss.
