It's DHH. Simultaneously love and hate the guy. He knew he was breaking the rules.. knew there would be a big dust-up over it he could fan into a bunch of free press for his launch. Knowing how to work media like this is what separates people like him from people like us.

I think he's in the right. But also agree it's a lot of PR he's enjoying. Last year he fought against Facebook "delete your account", a couple of months ago how more companies should offer remote work (pointing to their book/ebook). 20 tweets/day attacking big companies, he's used to that, has the audience and press contacts.

Oh, so do I. I hope he wins, I'm just saying he's already won in the most important way. No one would have heard of Hey, now it's news. 1B worth of marketing, at least.

Pretty clear. Not saying they are _good_ rules, but https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/18/interview-apples-schiller-...

It's even worse if they decide to selectively enforce the rules. I don't know what point you're trying to make here.

While I get that, there's hardly a company on the planet that doesn't give special deals to large partners. It feels like a bit of feigned surprise that people are shocked when Apple negotiates special rates for Netflix etc. Well, yes; that's what almost everyone does.
