Apple to Ban Apps That Reward Users for Enabling App Tracking

[promtonight]

No, because, as Firebush has indicated, they’re basically describing what everyone knows in a disingenuous fashion. They’re feigning alarm and have obfuscated the technical details in a obvious attempt to produce a video that raises alarm in others such that those folks will share the video as widely as possible. That the content isn’t accurate? They don’t care. By that time, folks have already clicked and watched it and that’s one more view for them!

I don’t blame them, it’s the nature of the platform that they’re on. They’re expending the effort to produce a video and, if that video says,“This blocks cross site tracking, but companies will still be able to track. They will just lack the ability to track at a device level and will have to come up with workarounds if they still want that level,” then it most certainly won’t get the number of views that’s worth even going through the effort to produce an upload the video. YouTube may even punish them if this video doesn’t perform as well as prior videos.

It’s no mistake that there’s no YouTuber I regularly watch content from that does one of those thumbnails.

Dudeeeeee Sorryyyyyyyyyyy If this has been annoying for you!!! 😅
You seem to be really upset with that...
I can understand your frustration!
But, I even feel for that dude...like if the content is satisfactory, I don't mind it...
Which for me in this case was!

Sorry for getting your attention onto something that you are probably trying to distance yourself from...
And Thanks for putting an effort into replying even after being frustrated! 💯

Not annoyed or frustrated at all! Like I said, they’re doing what they feel they need to do. It just so happens that the quickest easiest way to obtain followers is to be negative and, since YouTube rewards subscriber count/followers/views, then that’s what they’ve got to do. It’s the road they’ve chosen in life and I wish them success.

There’s a problem with getting paid to get tracked, Apple may be forced to come up with rules around how much people should be paid and for what duration before they are paid again. If you get paid and it is supposed to be for the rest of the time you are going to use the app, it might not be fair for you, The app will be making money on a regular basis while you only made once, to make matters worse, what if you no longer want to be tracked but you got paid.
Also what if people start downloading apps to get paid then never use them?

For people to get paid in a way that works for both developers and users, Apple will have to do some thinking.

Since tracking only allows for personalized ads, ATT will only reduce ad revenue and users will still see ads, but this time only bombarded with non relevant ads which in my opinion is more annoying

But anyway it’s a choice a user has to make

For those espousing the right to sell their data to companies, I can see your weird twisted logic but you ONLY think this in hindsight after something deeply troubling and morally wrong has already happened. I doubt you'd agree with the same if this wasn't already a thing. We don't advance as humans towards a better society when we justify the reception of money for just about anything.
