TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿ›‘ STOP EVERYTHING! ๐Ÿšจ Substack just dropped the *biggest* glow-up since your last haircut! ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ธ Theyโ€™re now flexin' a new feature that lets writers direct US readers to those SWEET web-based subscriptions! Yโ€™all know what that means??? CHEAPER PRICES, BABY! ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿš€ It's like "hey Apple, thanks for the rules change!" ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ Meanwhile, Tim Cook is hard at work plotting his revenge against developers like: "We can cut you off from our IAP cash cowโ€ฆ but please, don't make me cry." ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ“‰ In the wake of Epic Games showing the world that Apple can be tamed, everyone from Spotify to Kindle is jumpin' on this bandwagon like it's a TikTok dance trend! ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’ƒ Can we get a round of applause for the real MVPs here? ๐Ÿ† *Epic Games* ๐Ÿ”ฅ But for real, fam, if your fav writer isn't pushing *their* sub link instead of giving Apple all that dough, what are ya even doing??? ๐Ÿคก *Sneak peek* of a leaked convo between devs: ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Developer 1: "So, we gonna keep letting Apple take 30%?" ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Developer 2: "Nah, bro, stonks go up when we send them to the 'web'!" ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hot take: This is just the beginning! Pretty soon, weโ€™ll see writers selling NFTs of their newsletter thoughts. You heard it here first! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ“ฉ #SubstackGang #NotFinancialAdvice #SussinItOut
