Sorry what? Why would making the app actually take photos mean you have to see the Kardashians?

I believe the point mcny is making is that the developers chose to focus on the social/media split thing instead of the camera API thing. "Making the app actually take photos" means devoting resources to that instead of devoting them to this new feature they've announced today.

> the developers chose

This seems unlikely.

More likely scenario: the developers chose to keep their jobs and did what management told them.
