It's really incomprehensible, whatever minuscule revenue Apple is getting from running this protection racket, I mean ad network, must be minuscule compared to the potential damage they cause to their users and brand. But I guess that's next quarter's problem.
Their ad business is generally booming but the brand rap can’t be worth letting these in. OTOH maybe it’s either all in or don’t bother. There’s no way to staff reviews at the scale you need an ads business to work.
