Wait, what the FUCK!?!
I’ve been paying $4/month over market rate this whole time?
Create a problem. Generate a paid for solution. ??? Profit!
Not really though? Apple makes good hardware and operating systems, and generally have a good privacy-forward stance when it comes to software (in my opinion).
Unfortunately it’s not as cut and dry as “use Gentoo” - if my ad revenue is potentially worth x, lemme just pay x for the service. I know I’m not alone in this sense.
Yeah. That's normal if you subscribe to things through (iOS or android) apps.
Google and apple don't allow apps you roll their own payment methods to "protect their users". Apps have to use the Google/Apple payment system where Google/Apple take a 30% cut of every payment.
With YouTube being owner by Google they probably don't have to pay those 30% on Android, but they have to on iOS.
Oh yeah. When you put it that way, it’s totally understandable.
But now I’ve betrayed the fact that I’m willing to pay a lot for community driven content :D
Still switching around as soon as I’m back at my PC though
