I was right.Betcha no Apple apologist defends Meta by telling people that it's theirApp StoreMetaverse and if they don't like it they can use a different Metaverse or create their own; or thatAppleMeta needs to be paid for the support and backend that's running the service; etc.
Well... doesn't EPIC also have a "metaverse?" So, someone could definitely use a different metaverse in theory.Betcha no Apple apologist defends Meta by telling people that it's theirApp StoreMetaverse and if they don't like it they can use a different Metaverse or create their own; or thatAppleMeta needs to be paid for the support and backend that's running the service; etc.
Never has. Never will.Facebook certainly wouldn't be getting any of my money.
But the App Store is actually a thing. God willing, the dystopian dreams Big Tech has for “metaverse(s)” never actually pan out.Betcha no Apple apologist defends Meta by telling people that it's theirApp StoreMetaverse and if they don't like it they can use a different Metaverse or create their own; or thatAppleMeta needs to be paid for the support and backend that's running the service; etc.
Oh, they’ll find developers willing to take it. If an app pulls in 1 million dollars in the first year (not impossible to believe as in the early days, people will be buying whatever new app they can find), the developer is still making $500,000. Even if the app only pulls in $300,000 that year, that’s STILL $150,000 to the developer. Not too shabby.Good luck finding developers willing to take that cut!
WAS, right up until corporations found they can make money on it.The internet was an open standard.

Not really. You've just ignored the difference in the two situations. As someone who thinks Apple's commission is reasonable, I think it is reasonable for Meta to charge a commission.I was right.
4 pages in and I've not seen one single person defend Meta. But if this was about Apple, half the commenters would have already defended Apple like they always do.
I still use it with my existing FB friends list, groups, and occasionally the marketplace.Is there anyone, anywhere that has any great love for Facebook anymore? Everyone I know is over it. If they have a FB account, it's sort of that thing they check once in a while but don't really think much about.
By definition that's true. So I guess I'm not an Apple apologist. Meta has the same right Apple has to take a commission. But that's where the hypocrisy is!! Meta tried to block Apple from doing this, and now wants to do it at a higher rate! But you know that, so the real question is: why are you trying to change the subject?Betcha no Apple apologist defends Meta by telling people that it's theirApp StoreMetaverse and if they don't like it they can use a different Metaverse or create their own; or thatAppleMeta needs to be paid for the support and backend that's running the service; etc.

You'll actually be surprised at the number of people who buy through Facebook. Sales run into $100's M. It's like a mini Amazon. Many mom and shop type of operator sell via Facebook.What's 50% of $0?
