@sarahp.bsky.social Sarah, why does this article focus only on churn from recurring subscriptions instead of churn across the entire App Store? Industry averages show ~72% churn and ~4% D30 retention. Combined with negative sentiment data, these trends are concerning.

@aishamalik.bsky.social @rebeccabellan.bsky.social @sarahp.bsky.social 2017: www.nbcnews.com/show-me/vide... 2026: www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfu... Omg! 😳 Porn is being allowed on YouTube as long as you pay Google, exposing kids to explicit content. Why isn’t this front-page news?!!!!

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.” - Charlie Munger Taylor, you’ve brilliantly shined a light on the unfortunate & likely outcome & real objective. I see outstanding journalists like you going far beyond your job & duty. But what about everyone else?!

@aishamalik.bsky.social @rebeccabellan.bsky.social @sarahp.bsky.social @seanokane.bsky.social USPTO has denied all of Tesla’s IP tied to “Robotaxi,” & they’re now litigating with a beverage company over it. Why is a soon-to-be trillion-dollar company handling risk mitigation & branding so poorly?

@aishamalik.bsky.social @rebeccabellan.bsky.social @sarahp.bsky.social Fizz the startup that sued Instacart & Partiful for IP infringement is now at risk of losing key IP rights, and it isn’t even the co that owns Fizz the brand. Your article should be updated to reflect that; legal can verify this.

@aishamalik.bsky.social @rebeccabellan.bsky.social Why hasn’t TechCrunch reported on the litigation against OpenAI’s Sora by Overdrive for alleged IP infringement? Overdrive has owned the Sora brand for years, and OpenAI may soon have to rebrand Sora or reach a private settlement for $$$$$$$.

@ironspike.bsky.social “…Good and useful tech doesn't have to beg to be used.” 👏 Technology isn’t begging to be used, companies are. When “success” is measured by growth at all cost and engagement, not health and value added over time, intrusive experiences become the rational & empowered outcome.

@rebeccabellan.bsky.social Absolutely incredible reporting, Rebecca! I really enjoyed this piece. I’d love to see a deeper dive into the economic viability of the entire consumer market. While the guests are bullish, the data suggests alarming trends compared to the 'vanity metrics' we see.
