I would have agreed with this stance 6+ years ago but there’s so much garbage, malware, adware, etc. on the App Store that it’s not as regulated as they’d like to have you believe.

Even simple stuff like a pdf editor, phot editor or whatever. If it’s not a big name company, you’re taking a risk. Let’s not get into small and more niche apps.

Plus, Google kinda pushed Apple into this position but if this goes through, first thing everyone is doing is install YouTube Vanced to ditch the ads.

Overall I’m pretty whatever on it, it it happens, great. If it doesn’t, oh well.

The ONLY thing that would get me to be more in favour is if this allows for ublock to make an appearance as a fully fledged iOS app with all the bells and whistles I see on PC.
