None. You don’t make headway by retreating. Have to be present to even make a difference.

The answer to switch away from Apple is dumb if you ask me. It’s like waking away from 1.8 billion people because you’re inconvenienced.

I think the answer is to stay and try to raise awareness - just as Damus is doing now. With enough loud voices on social media we can influence some Apple policy and have our way.

Apple is a strong brand. They don’t care if they lose you as a customer. But… they will fight tooth and nail to protect the brand. And nothing is worse for the brand than an angry mob on social media.

Stay in the game. Don’t give in. Don’t leave - that’s what they’d prefer. Keep talking, keep making noise and try to have it your way.

Having said that, the App Store is over of their main sources of revenue. For users and app developers, it's a gatekeeper. But what does Apple do when the fence is gone? Apple needs to seriously ponder this question.

Also, is this just another canary in the coal mine for the App Store, thinking back to the recent fight they had with Epic Games.
