Why they can execute better is for another day.
Foot notes
1. Good PMs always know their market and their competitors. If they are not from the market, they can always get up to speed in a few quarters.
2. You don’t need to use <insert digital product name here> to become a PM
Good PMs are the canary in the coal mine for changing markets and customer needs. Great PMs are the ones driving this shift in the market.
They can sense the change because they are constantly using their most powerful tools: talking to consumers and studying the market they are in(1), often with just a pen and paper (2).
Business—ownership—does not contribute to production. It can *only* earn revenue through sabotage. Without the fences, the toll booths, the armed guards, the enshitification, then owners do not earn any profits. Capitalism must constantly make things *worse* than they would be if we were free to produce to meet our own and each other’s needs.
Maybe you’ve seen the news about Reddit? Reddit is restricting access to its API so it can charge more from makers of third-party apps.
Reddit’s CEO had this to say:
“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things…We are not in the business of giving that away for free."
Oh My God He Admit It dot Gif
Huffman did not create “the largest data set of human beings talking about interesting things.” Reddits users did. What Huffman owns is a *fence* around those conversations, and he only earns a profit if he can *sabotage* access.

“[sideloading] would allow customers to download apps without needing to use the App Store, which would mean developers wouldn't need to pay Apple's 15 to 30 percent fees.” https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/17/app-sideloading-support-coming-ios-17/
Not a chance. Apple will just use another method to collect their "commission”: https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitlement/
Remember: Tim Cook views our customers as THEIR customers, our sales as THEIR sales, and the 30% as what they rightfully deserve for gracing us with a platform that we provide no other value to.
hey @paul , apple refunded some money automatically for my tweetbot subscription stating
"Tweetbot for Twitter has advised us that the subscription Tweetbot Yearly has been discontinued. As a result, you received fewer issues than anticipated at the time of your subscription purchase."
Not sure what this was about, nor does it make sense. Did you initiate the refund?
