yeah i mean more.

instead things are getting privatized and budgets cut

and this is in a time when you can't sell newspapers or magazines any more, which intrinsically had "DRM", being physical. point being the reliance on advertising to monetize is growing. combined with the issues of data mining and native advertising, it's a minefield to just read the news without getting infected with a tracking cookie or read or watch content that was secretly bought and paid for.

so what do we do when society absolutely needs something but it can't be reliably produced by the market using the profit incentive? more public funding. but we're doing the opposite.

new media sites killed old media by giving away the content of real journalists for free, now its time for they're just deserts

can ios ad blockers do content injection? for example if someone were to request jquery version X from goog's cdn could you intercept the request and replace it with a local static copy of that version of jquery or maybe redirect to another cdn?

nah
I'm pretty sure all you can do is give safari a list of urls like easylist to block

uh sorry guys. so.

the more i hear about 3d touch the more impressed i get. it didn't really wow me when i first saw the keynote but things like the left edge app switch and the cursor/text select sound really good

the left edge app switch one is probably the dumbest use of 3d touch because its just a duplicate of double tap home button except harder to do if you hold the phone in your right hand

look, i'll lay it out here because you're struggling with this: apple music, like other similar services, was created with the intent that all subscribers, whether they are paying or not, have a monetized value to the service provider and, in turn, the content providers enabling the service to exist

basically, i'm giving apple more credit than you seem to be which is strange

when those subscribers decline 50% in the quarter, there is no meaningful distinction because all subscribers, whether they are paying or not, are valuable and therefore the value of the service has declined to the content providers

when the value of a service declines to such a drastic degree it is reasonable to declare that it is a flop

what value do non paying customers have?
and don't say ads because apple has literally never done anything that was ad-supported

they are consuming the content which is a prerequisite for paying for the content through any number of other sources, such as itunes
