Obligatory Apple is a bad IP-abusing monopoly, but it's still funny that they can bully advertisers this hard with no repercussions. They have a new iOS rule that requires a user opt-in for marketing spyware/app tracking.
Uh oh, looks like the generations upon generations of shitty websites including Facebook have conditioned people to click right through popups and scare screens without even reading them!
Quote this. We are going to get some sort of battle pass type reward system for big tech ecosystems to encourage tracking amongst networks of applications now. You already have this sort of system in China, Korea and Japan with app lock-in with points.
I don’t know how it will happen, but it will be something like open up Facebook and it’s partners services once a day to get points, join our community to get exclusive rewards and 2x points. Points can be redeemed for stickers etc. The consequences of this decision will be just be even bigger tech so your no longer sharing between apps, but apps become bigger platforms like they are in China and if Apple comes down on it anti-trust against the AppStore will really start up.
Apple Is Bad but at least their business model is selling products. Facebook does nothing but sell access to your eyeballs through your data and it's obvious most people wouldn't use it if they knew exactly what it was doing.
Apple is moving to a subscription platform, Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Books, Apple fitness+, Apple Arcade. They are doing the privacy push to hurt the players already around and are pushing the industry into a new form of rent seeking.
this, additionally, if facebook or IG or other products went the subscription service route. apple would demand a 30% cut from purchases inside the app store
Facebook will never go subscription, it kills their core product. If they had a Facebook gold payment would be on a non-App method like Netflix does.
Hilarious. All the really big corps get their data straight from the ISP tho so wont change much except cutting out some mid level agencies.
Monopolies? In my capitalism?
It’s more like then you think :lenin-cat:
This is true. There is also other things they glean from your ISP that's far more concerning than just your demographic shopping profile. If you've ever been to a protest with your real phone, or if in general need help securing your devices/comms hit me up, happy to help.
Fools. Don't they know that their ads will no longer be catered to their specific personal interests? smh
