worse title I've seen in a while
replyIt would have been about Apple it probably would have said "Apple starts charging 20% fees on the AppStore"
replySoviet level of journalism...
reply“Did you hear? On Red Square they’re giving away cars.”
“Not quite. First, it’s not on Red Square but on Dzerzhinsky Square. Second, they’re not cars but bicycles. And third, they’re not giving them away, they’re stealing them.”
"Did you hear, Russians went to space", "All of them?", "No, just one", "Then why do you bother me."
reply> This is kind of a misleading title
replyThat kind of is an understatement
Note that the title is the same as the actual article's heading. :(
reply> This is kind of a misleading title
replyKind of is doing a lot of work there. This might be THE most misleading title I heard. Jumping into this thread I expected they went from 30% to 0% not 20% so I appreciate your comment for giving me more context.
Can Dang or HN moderation team fix the title to better reflect the true state and not be misleading as it currently is?
thanks in advance!
Or better yet, remove it all together. Why promote this type of deceivement?
replyIt looks to be a pretty massive messaging compaign promoting this deceptive wording.
The majority of which is going directly to Visa, Amex, Mastercard.
replyNah, credit card fees are like 1.5 to 3.5%.
replyThat's incredible, so Stripe at 3% plus $0.30 per transactions must be losing money hand over fist!
replyi dont believe any of those companies take anywhere near a 20% cut per transaction
replyAlso, iOS App Store and Google Play Store aren't just straight payment processing, they are Merchant of Record.
