    Should you stay with using the Apple app store. It absolutely nothing bad about this decision it gives people the option to use an alternate app store if they want but it doesn’t force anyone to.

    The amount of bad faith arguments in this thread are disturbing for supposedly informed tech savvy people.

      It’s so weird. I can kind of understand this level of ignorance on other platforms, but here? The platform a majority of the people actively sought out because they saw what happens when a walled gardens starts turning against its users?

      At the very least, I would’ve expected better arguments than “I don’t want this, so I oppose other’s from having that option.”

      it gives people the option to use an alternate app store if they want but it doesn’t force anyone to.

      That argument sounds great in theory, but would break down after a month or less, when companies start moving their apps off of Apple’s App Store and onto a 3rd party store that allows all the spyware Apple has forced them to remove if they want to have an iOS market. This move DOES force people to use alternate app stores when companies start moving (not copying, moving) their apps over to said stores to take advantage of the drop in oversight.
