Apple Threatens to Remove App 'Hey' from App Store over No In-App Subscriptions

I genuinely love that DHH still has the guts to make a stand like this even though he mostly loves on Apple products and has even been given pre-release goodies to try out directly from Apple.

This is how you don’t become a sell-out! Don’t lower your standards just because someone gives you pretty things.

Great example for all of us

Umm... pretty sure he isn't lowering his standards because there is his money at stake here. If he had not been affected by this monetarily he most probably would have kept quiet like most humans to keep the good relations.

His app Basecamp has been on the App Store way before he testified.

That’s what I’m saying. My comment was totally un-sarcastic and genuine: DHH has not lowered his standards; he is making a stand.

Great lesson/example for the rest of us.
