       There is no “safety in numbers” with Apple’s IAP demands — at least not until you're the size of Uber/Meta.The entire market of podcast apps outside of Apple/Spotify is peanuts to Apple.They’d crush us all without a second thought if they thought we weren't giving them every cent they *deserve* (in their view) for graciously enabling our businesses to exist (in their view) that provide zero value to their platform beyond fees we pay (in their view).Tim Cook is greathttps://bne.social/@james/114345835921533046

       @james @marcoarment you’re counting downloads. I would say my usage is 50/50 Overcast vs YouTube. You can't count that.

       @sayrer @marcoarment You can, with research. But, with respect, *you* are not everyone.

       @james @sayrer @marcoarment This is the clarity we needed:https://9to5mac.com/2025/05/01/apple-app-store-guidelines-external-links/“Apple has officially updated the App Store Guidelines to comply with the injunction handed down yesterday in its legal case with Epic Games. According to the new App Store rules, “there is no prohibition on an app including buttons, external links, or other calls to action” in the United States.”
