iOS app store takes a 30% cut of all payments in the app and forbids app developers from telling users about it. Many people consider this abusive behavior and a good reason to boycott Apple.
Resolves to the proportion of likers who already knew this.

Now I'm really curious if Apple would require Manifold to censor user-generated content like this!
If no, Manifold could trivially bypass Apple's rules by just recruiting a friendly user to post this and then making sure it ranks highly on their recommendation algo.
But if yes, would that also mean that e.g. the Facebook/Twitter/... iOS apps also need to block any user posts on this topic since they also have in-app purchases? That seems like it would get Apple a lot of free-speech backlash. (Sample headline: "Apple forces Twitter to censor anti-Apple tweets...")
My personal opinion is that Apple shouldn't have such a rule in the first place, but it raises some interesting questions since they have it.
@MartinRandall will it resolve to the proportion of likes? Or to the % of the market at close date?
@MartinRandall I read it 5 times and somehow I missed it haha. My brain just interpreted likers as “voters” or something I guess 😆
