I guess a ~2% fee would cover those costs.
- lxgr 7mo agoNot on a free app, and I don't think Apple should be coerced to host content for free and cross-subsidize it from other paid content.
- cubefox 7mo ago> Not on a free app 30% of 0 is also 0. They are already cross-subsidizing it. > I don't think Apple should be coerced to host content for free and cross-subsidize it from other paid content. Nobody said they should be.
- tremon 7mo agoI also don't think Apple should be coerced to host content. However, as long as they insist on gatekeeping all installs on the iPhone platform they should be. If Apple doesn't want that coercion, they are free to relinquish their app store monopoly.
- array_key_first 7mo agoI definitely think they should be coerced to host content if they insist on being the only avenue of getting content out on the platform. If they don't want that burden, which is very understandable, then maybe they shouldn't be the sole God gatekeeper of content? That's a choice, after all, and one they willingly made.
