    Once you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.

    Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.

        Mmmmm, corpo defense via victim blaming. You love to see it.

        Next up, Microsoft is obligated to install 24/7 spyware on all ststems because tech incompetent users don’t know how to use anything else.

          Indeed. Between 150 and 40 years ago a “platform” that sold devices and also vertically owned everything up to and including the advertising business on those devices would have been illegal. Even AT&T didn’t try to mess with the actual content of your phone conversations, despite de facto being given a get-out-of-jail-free card with regards to monopolistic behaviour for 70 years. This isn’t a matter of people being bad at buying stuff.
