@ajsharp @dhh as david points out, plenty of other very similar email apps are able to exist in the app store without giving Apple a cut. maybe these are being ‘grandfathered in’ but choice still feels capricious and anticompetitive — PolitiTweet.org

@snapster aha! I can understand why you’d grandfather certain things — like allowing existing fart apps to remain in the store while not approving others. but saying ‘we won’t take 30 percent from these older email apps but we will from new ones’ seems blatantly anti-competitive — PolitiTweet.org

@snapster I would frame the question differently in this case, since Hey is not generating any direct revenue from iOS. If they were selling in-app subs, by all means, charge that 15%. but to take a third of revenue when they’re not even selling subs on iOS seems outrageous to me — PolitiTweet.org
