I mean: Maybe it’s intentional? Maybe Apple is like “sure, you hit Play on that podcast, but you can’t just start *listening* to a podcast straightaway. You gotta give yourself a few seconds. Get your mind right. *Then* you can listen.” — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac It works *great*. Occasionally you get some responding yup your mutee but that’s it. Solution: mute more people! — PolitiTweet.org

@ClaraJeffery You think the feds are going to mandate vaxxes in a deeply mistrustful population? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@ClaraJeffery I don’t think there are lot of unvaxxed people who are swayed by “fully approved” v EUA status. Will there be some on the margins? Sure. So that’s good. But the rest will find other reasons to opt out. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@poniewozik @cwarzel I found this *enormously* frustrating this spring, when public health people and reporters who talk to them would hand wave about mild side effects from the vax and real people would describe not being able to work for two days. — PolitiTweet.org

Wild that this remains so broken. I really don’t ask for much from my pod players - just need them to let me download pods and play them - but the only thing keeping me on this now is that I don’t want to spend the time re-subscribing to my list on a new app. — PolitiTweet.org

@WillOremus But yes I think that often times the media, the outsiders we talk to and the companies themselves all have self-interested reasons for portraying this stuff as more advanced/secretive/magically than it is. — PolitiTweet.org

@RonWechsler Definitely TSV/TSC for the foreseeable future. Open question whether it becomes something else down the line. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@WillOremus Repetition is kind of the point of TikTok. The whole ethos of TikTok is to copy/respond to other TikToks, and the mechanics of the app explicitly encourage it. https://t.co/oPDMs9c0ds — PolitiTweet.org

Barclays analyst (and, I assume, others) notes that Netflix not charging for games (or selling in-game stuff) helps Netflix escape App Store rules that have hung up Spotify, Epic and others. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@akruglov Yeah I think the idea is to offer versions of all of that in the app so you stay in the app. Full stop. Maybe it’s wildly more ambitious in the long-run but that’s not what they’re saying publicly or privately. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@akruglov Definitely where they are starting. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Tldr: Netflix doesn’t know anything about games but it wants to do an Apple Arcade - casual games with no ads, no in-game purchases - and add it into your app for free. It’s experimenting but says games will be a “core part of our subscription offering.” — PolitiTweet.org
