I don't that's a problem of distribution but rather getting the data in the first place. Why wouldn't Facebook prevent those services from accessing the data? Ask the developer of Apollo, the Reddit client, how well relying o

Most podcast apps rely on Apple's podcast index to power search. Yes, you can manually add a feed in most clients but that is not how most people use their podcast app. They search for podcasts in their app of choice. If a podcast does

Would you prefer Youtube to prevent creators from using sponsored content in their videos? If so, where would you draw the line? Just clear in-video ads? Is it ok to review a product that was provided by the manufacturer for free? There&#x2

I think the ad-free content actually is the premium feature most Youtube subscribers are willing to pay for. I know I do. On the other hand I don't think Youtube cares about users that aren't even considering to pay under any c

iTunes doesn't sell lossless music. You can stream lossless music with Apple Music but you can't buy it.

Prepare for your music to disappear at any point. Licensing deals end and albums you love are suddenly removed from platforms. I understand that's an acceptable trade off for a casual listener. I actually use Spotify for previewing alb

To be fair it really doesn't matter since it's quite easy to convert between lossless files. I prefer ALAC too since I use iOS devices. However let's not pretend that Apple supporting FLAC wouldn't make things easier.
