      Makes sense. Never pay through Apple if there’s any other option. Can’t fault Google for that.

      But even then, $16 per month for Youtube!? An adblocker is cheaper.

        Why doesn’t Google just pay it and absorb the cost like shippers do with tariffs?

        Yeah, it’s… interesting. Especially with donations.
        Apple takes a 30% cut, then Google does so as well from the remainder.

        Feeling generous? Congrats, more than a half goes to corporations.
