You can't make that decision for me and millions of others.

You're voting to make our industry inequitable and running software some Orwellian dystopia.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple one day mandated that we hand them the copyright to the code we write. We're one step away from that now: we already have to write against a strict spec, fit all the rules, and are subject to arbitrary dismissal. They take 30% and leave us the crumbs. The appeals process is unfair. If Apple likes what you've got, they can just clone your app. One step away.

We're in prison and you're rationalizing about your parents.

Are you an iOS developer?

Do you own an iPhone?

Irrelevant.

Not at all.

The commenter claims to be imprisoned by Apple.

If that’s true, I want to understand how they got that way.

If it’s not true, then their entire argument is questionable.
