Too Long; Didn't Read

Apple has always thought of itself as the kind of company that empowers creative people to do their best work. But now, through its App Store policies, Apple is one of the main barriers to independent creators thriving on the internet. Too much control, taste, and value extraction can break a platform, writes [Li Jin, Nathan Baschez, and [Yash Bagal*.
