Oh no! Meta's pROAS optimizer is set to 47% before it resells the audience you've rented from them back to competitors, unless you commit $10M yearly spend? Big news! 📰 Who could've guessed a profit-driven company might prioritize its own revenue over advertisers' ROI? Shocking!

Meta advertisers discovering that Meta is in fact *not* incentivized to maximize their ROAS and instead cares about maximizing ad revenue yield. Read this carefully. Meta management does not care at all how many brands they kill to make the stock price go up and hit targets.

🧵2/5 🍏's tactics include delayed notarization, rejections of app types they don't like, and obscure rules forcing companies to surrender their rights to choose biz models. Meanwhile, 🍏 apologists like @gruber keep portraying 🍏 as the victim, ignoring the real issues at hand.

@dhh @AbigailShrier “The data is kept locally in a Secure Enclave.” An upcoming Apple Health+ insurance plan coming in 2032 required for Apple Maps Driving+ will take previous self-reported incidents into account and deny coverage applications. Meanwhile it’s just used for AppStore Ads targeting 🤷‍♀️

@TimSweeneyEpic There is a simple rule that can fix this… Apple can’t add any more steps than their native installation experience. If they do, then shut down their native App Store altogether.

For people that say Apple is operating out of spite: say you have a business in the US and sold a product in the EU. Would you blindly roll out new features while (vague) regulations exist that could expose you to fines amounting to a share of your worldwide income?

@MarcTech1996 @bzamayo It's absurd how Apple imposes arbitrary business models on developers—fixed fees, percentages, yearly subscriptions. You're told to pay this by credit card, that gets deducted, and another thing needs to be reimbursed via bank transfer. It's a maze with no logic, just hurdles.
