One consistent theme I see here is possible stability for investors. Bookkeeping works and is that crowded of a space, so maybe with enough cash they can get some ROI. Same for food delivery. I’m not saying this is good, and I could be wron

That should be fine. Forwarding means you’ll become the sender so the SPF record of the original sender will no longer apply.

Like many comments are saying, policing these even more is not an easy challenge, so to say “don’t trust Apple” isn’t really the right attitude IMO. But… what I think would be nice to see from Apple is better visibility into those ratings a

I recently discovered this top on my own while starting a new podcast that’s based on a written newsletter. It’s not (always) a word for word read, but after a few sessions of reading the newsletter out loud as I was recording, I noticed my

Yes, but a quick look at attprompts.com will show you most apps that use pre-prompts do at least one thing that’s not allowed by the rules. I Worte about a few, including McDonald’s which uses misleading language and a popular game that sho

Yes and no. Yes, 10K isn’t a lot, and the big apps are included in the 10K. But… companies like Google Need as many apps as possible to funnel data to them so they can profile _everyone_, and they do that with their “free” services like Fir

Not really. But Apple doesn’t use its data to sell you ads. Wait! They actually do. Apple allows targeting ads in the App Store by things that require data collection. So, a better answer might be “not right now” because no one is forcing i

Another thing to keep in mind is how often these will be seen. Right now ~10K apps ask (or, try to ask). So the odds of seeing the prompt in the wild aren’t too high unless you’re a Facebook user. But as more apps show the prompt and it’ll

Haha. I totally get that. But… I don’t think that popup was designed to get the HN folk to opt in but rather those that use Facebook (and Instagram, which has the same language) to communicate actively. It’s really the pre-prompt I’m referr

I don’t think it’s like that for everyone, but I’m not sure what would determine where you are.

I believe so, which is why that % is very small. I’ve seen quite a few reports from different providers in the last couple of weeks and suspect the _real_ average of opt-ins is considerably higher. I’m hoping to see some numbers from Apple

Their messaging around this is so limited I wonder what they expect would happen. It can’t be a good PR move…

Integrity and such aside, as someone who runs A/B tests I love seeing this data. Thanks for sharing it!

I think the reliance on a single provider is as important of an issue as it is who the provider is and the way they make decisions.

That’s a really good point, and is also how I see other similar apps like grammarly. They can help highlight issues and it’s up to you to decide whether those really are issues or just personal stylistic choices. I’m a user of both.

I don’t think they have a clear one. From what I could find, they want to take a cut of the revenue influencers on the service make. I don’t think they do that now though, so I think they don’t really have a revenue model. I’m curious to se

Companies who don’t make it very easy to get in touch are just hurting themselves. Agreed there. I send with my name on it, reply to everyone who hits the reply button, and have a live chat (manned by humans) as well as a contact us form. I

Again, I’m talking about something you signed up for/subscribed to. Random emails are... random.

Sad, but not untrue. I appreciate the pragmatism here! Do you know of any articles or useful content around this?

by arielm 6y ago
Now, that’s 100% spam. I’m not talking about those at all. Nor the ones where you sign up for one thing and then their “sister company” starts sending you email.

by arielm 6y ago
Interesting! We don’t do any of that, but that’s also something I’ve never thought about. Can’t you email them?

by arielm 6y ago
Buuut, it doesn’t. The system that you’re talking about is heavily weighted towards sending more stuff to spam than not. Keeping a good spam rating is an extreme challenge for legit senders, especially when so many people click the spam but

I don’t understand this argument at all. You mean to say you signed up for a service or subscribed to a newsletter, then see an email from the service or newsletter and don’t know if it’s really that company/person? Did you check the “
