> First party data collection and use is not the same as third-party tracking. I can't disagree with this more. User privacy is user privacy.

There is no hypocrisy there, like everything in life, including startup life, everything comes down to money. And money is power. The US created the Saudi Arabian powerhouse we see today. We need them to keep our economic inertia moving

Moonshots. And Apple is never first to market with anything. They take ideas that have traction and marketplace and then try to build a better one. The car wont make it because there is not a a successful industry to steal from yet. Th

Oh its definitely rent seeking. They are trying to eek out more money from customers without adding additional value. Headphone jacks, no SD card for storage, no charger blocks, no ability to add music to your device without a windows or

Do somethings provide value? Yes? If I want to write an app for my own phone (and provide it to no one else) I need to pay them $100 a year. That turns my $1000 phone into a $1100 phone the first year, 10% increase. Is it providing me v

It's rent seeking. It's what turns a $1000 phone into a $1500-2000 phone over the lifetime of a device (2.5 years)

That is 100% what the gig economy is about. Just like 'surge' pricing with Uber/Lyft. These people are renting out their homes, why not make the most money as possible? Is it scummy? Sure. Illegal? It's capitalism.

Rights? It's room sharing. Not a hotel. Not a business. (I get you but this is the gig economy in a nutshell. If I can make $500 more a night you're damned right you're getting cancelled)

TBF all those people who took those promises also knew they might never come to realization. In which case, small exodus and you replace them with people FTE's within a reasonable salary range. Happens all the time.

Why would they need to IPO? Is liquidity stopping them from building anything right now or growing? Why give up any amount of power for a strong private company? Stripe could stay private forever (or 20 years which is the avg lifespan I
