It's embarrassing to see posts like yours. 30% is the norm almost EVERYWHERE in the digital market.
I'm sorry you're embarrassed. Please enlighten folks like myself on why the digital market must siphon off one-third of the creator's pay. Why not one-half, then?

I need not make a list of societal norms through the centuries that were erroneously kept in place because "that's the way it's always been done." Someday, when you extricate yourself from the veil over your mind, perhaps you'll look back and realize what I'm saying right now.

Cheers. ;)
 
This is taking things too far. There's nothing wrong or irrelevant about letting customers know where their money is going.

Apple knows their 30% is too high. They're scared.
You think so? Buy a pair of Nikes, or basically any retail product, and there will be a minimum of aa 35% margin applied. More often it's up there around the 50%, and that includes most of Apples devices, and that of others. They won't admit it, but how else do they make money in the sales?

Facebook uttering the words transparency. They really have some nerve.

Why do people still use facebook, anyway?

Beats me! We should all try and get outdoors more, and actually talk with people. I don't believe Humans are at their best when separated from society.
