Just friendly reminder, whataboutism typically involves deflecting criticism by pointing out a similar issue in an unrelated context, often with the intention of avoiding the original critique.

Their response directly addresses the issue of fee percentages in the same industry, making it more of a comparative argument than a diversion.

May I offer a subtly snarky approach for you to use in the future?

“Our main goal today is to delve into the reasons and consequences of Apple’s fee structure. Let’s try to keep our discussion centered on that topic.”

Ooooo snap! 🫰
