Apple Announces More Ads Coming to App Store Starting Next Week

[pnds]

I wrote a product feedback note to express my distaste at this advertising focused strategic direction, I don't care that it will be thrown in the trash, I just want to make clear the reason that they'll stop seeing my money if (perhaps "when") adverts find a home within the Apple ecosystem.

Not liking the idea of ads in App Store eventually spilling out into to actual devices is either.

If this ends up happening this is TRULY the time to vote with your dollars, and most importantly try to influence the larger stake holders of shares ownership to propose changes to revert or prevent this in the os it selves as proposed votes in shareholder meetings.

The largest shareholders don’t give a damn about the products or the customers.

Yeah, I’ve sent them countless bug reports through there… accomplishes nothing.

How much profit is enough for these corporations? There comes a point where you can't extract any more. Then what? First it was five percent. Then seven. Then fifteen. Then 22. Then 30. Apple push on toward 50. All the wealth goes up to a handful. And this has happened in direction connection with cutting corporate taxes and cutting taxes on the rich. We're incentivizing pathological behavior. Ordinary people work twice as hard for the same pay. The coupon clippers clean up. And it's been that way ever since the 1980s and now some on the right want to make it even more that way.

From a consumer standpoint, I thought I was getting away from ads by having Mac and iOS. I guess not. We just give up Android-standard AI.
