I really think this move blows and I wish they would reverse this decision and make an exception. However Tim Cook didn’t wake up one day and wonder how he could fuck creators. Apple takes a 30% cut of all app transactions. This is how they benefit from the enormous and highly successful app platform and ecosystem they created. It’s not pure evil to say “hey use this platform all you want but you must share some of what you make there with us.” It does suck that they won’t let creators off the hook though. This is like taxing rips.
