Which begs the question:
How long will content providers last if they decide to not show content to iOS users?
- blinkingled 11y agoMore like how long will content providers last if iOS users block their ads? Showing the content doesn't mean anything if they can't monetize it.
- verinus 11y agodepends on the market share and monetization I think. It would hurt content providers targeting the US much more than those who target the global market where iOS has a much lower market share...
- danielweber 11y agoSomeone has to pay the bills. It's conceivable that the iOS users are all loss-leaders telling their non-ad-blocking friends to read the article, but that's kind of stretching it.
- thescrewdriver 11y agoI'm sure Facebook and Google will land on their feet.
- josteink 11y agoConsidering how ios is the last platform to gain ad blocking, something android, the majority platform has had for years, it's definitely stretching it. I don't think anyone would be able to make that argument with a straight face.
