This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

@marcoarment they’re worse than everyone else. This is their platform, they should be the ones fighting to protect its integrity to make us want to be there.

I expect some app I got for free to treat me as a potential revenue source and try to grab my attention at every turn.

But for Apple to treat *my* £1500 phone as part of their sales funnel is downright insulting.
