It’s not garbage reporting. The title of the video is not even that misleading, because it is exactly what would happen if people opt into that. It’s way less misleading than apple representing the terms here as a “choice”
No, it is completely misleading because:
-
this change will not impact a single developer outside the EU.
-
Any developer not using a third party app store will also not be affected.
-
You can still build free apps and literally nothing changes assuming you use Apple’s app store.
Like I said, it is a shit policy, but for nearly all developers nothing changes.
The video’s thumbnail said Apple is killing free apps. That is a complete lie. There is not an ounce of truth to it.
