Yes it was thru Apple. Apple just blindly takes the side of whoever complains. Similar to YouTube/Amazon I guess. I'm willing to fight this, but hope a manual review will resolve matters.

As someone in the ad industry (not part of Google) this makes perfect sense. Youtube likely has video quality scores (like for Grammys, Academy, etc), where they're able to get the best bang for their buck when users watch such videos.

Am I the only one that supports Apple here? As a smaller indie dev they have been great to me. The best developer support I've experienced from a company and I don't mind the 30% cut.
