Apple charges 30% from newspapers and magazines - an industry that is struggling to make any money.
But not Facebook which makes way more money than all the newspapers in the world taken together.
Yes Apple built the platform but by charging a 30% margin it is fleecing it’s customers who already paid through their noses for the devices and/or skimming the entire profit of some developers.
It doesn’t even seem like a good business practice from a corporation that makes most of its money through other seemingly legit means.
Bottom line, all the virtue signaling aside, Apple is very much a capitalist concern with the morality of a cute crocodile. What’s a monopoly without a little price gouging, eh??
