I'm far more okay with a company of the size and scale of Snap paying Apple's 30% tax than small indies and people just getting their app off the ground. That's why the drop to 15% under $1 million was a good start. The anticompetitive arguments still exist without arguing %. https://t.co/eb01Bg3hZT

Imagine people arguing in 1998 that Microsoft deserves 30% of all software sales with zero alternatives allowed lmao

Isn't like all of Snap's revenue from ads which it doesn't pay Apple a commission on? https://t.co/L7a1y5cW7P

This is a good example of a strategy credit since Snapchat makes money from ads not in-app purchases so it costs them nothing to suck up to Apple.

Would be different if they were celebrating if Apple asked for 30% of ad revenue from iOS apps. https://t.co/DWUEqSkznS
Snapchat, Twitter, etc. all make the lion's share of their $$$ by collecting user data and selling it, not through direct purchases via apps. https://t.co/DJA8dWSHeJ

This is part of my problem in objectively considering arguments about various aspects of the App Store. As much as I complain about Apple, I wouldn’t have built a software business if it weren’t for the App Store. I’m genuinely grateful for that and don’t begrudge Apple the 30%. https://t.co/LVkkw9OoSk

Evan gets it. You can’t credit Apple for helping you grow and then after you’re big you’re mad and saying they won’t allow me to grow https://t.co/fvraGSZsC7
