  • Email from Ted Lasso invites Apple TV+ subscribers to watch new season

    caskeycaskey
    I know it's Apple doing it, but is this seriously newsworthy? A streaming service sends its subscribers a marketing email announcing a new episode? How on earth does that justify an article here? I get like 3 emails a week from Netflix and Hulu about new shows and movies too, but nobody is writing stories about that? 

    Your editorial staff needs to practice a little bit more restraint.

    here’s an example of the exact same notifications that I get all the time from similar apps. You might define it as spam, but it’s not. It’s a notification. If you had it turned off he’d still got it, you could argue it’s spam, but that’s not what’s happening here. 




    I'm sorry, but using a notification to send spam doesn't make it not spam.
    Since when are you the sole arbitrator of what is and is not spam. Most people would not consider that message spam.

    This is a non-story. I get notifications like this from Netflix and Prime Video and all those other apps. This is not an abuse of power. It’s an app notification…and a rare one at that compared to other apps in the same category. Let’s not light our hair on fire over everything.

  • Apple must face lawsuit alleging that 'buying' media on iTunes is misleading

    Apple is full of crap.  It is very misleading to tell users they can purchase something with a "Buy" button and then suggest that they do not own it.  I think they would get a lot less money , if they had a "Use for an unknown amount of time" button.

    They know people think they are buying it.  Purely deceptive.
    mmmmh...though I understand (and actually share) the frustration, I also believe it is out of line to again shoot only at Apple. E.g. I can also not accept that Amazon’s Kindle content follows a similar logic, as actually most of the digital content. Part of the problem might also be the owners of the content itself, they still seem to ignore the lessons from the initial music issue after MP3 saw the light of day.

    So looking forward to the decision of the court here...just pleeeeeease stop being so one-sited, it is essentially an general industry issue, not Apple specific 🙏
    This lawsuit and this article is apple specific because he's specifically suing Apple over the fact that they terminated his iTunes account and removed his access to almost $25,000 worth of content. The problem is industry-wide, but the focus of this article shouldn't be criticized for it's Apple focus. It's simply the circumstances of the case they're reporting on.
