Rev share / rake by content platform, from Substack, to Spotify, to YouTube. I got thinking about this in scanning a BBC filing mentioning its unease with putting more content on YouTube, given that its poor revenue sharing.

@paul On one hand, the cost to ingest, host, and distribute videos is probably a lot higher than the app stores’ costs to host and distribute apps.

On the other hand, Apple & Google invest heavily in the technologies used to create the apps. I don’t think Google does the same to create the videos they host.

I’m not sure how to compare these different categories.

I take your point, but no-one I have spoken to at Google has defended it as cost-based pricing. This is purely about market dominance.
