iOS is trash. Simple as that, my parents have iPhones and I’m like ‘oh you can just do X’, then I go to look, get lost in menus, then find out the basic feature doesnt even exist. I can’t sideload apps, I can’t customise my UI, it’s just incredibly limiting. iPhones are for basics, calls, texts, web browsing. If you wanna do anything else you are better off with an Android.
The point is, we are enjoying free content without any advertising and monetisation slapped on. If that happens, then we just leave, we are not demanding free content, we just consume it because it exists. The donation model is the only one that works in this space, or this space fails as another attempt at capitalism where it wasn’t needed or requested.
