HN discussion quality check:

Jobs clearly wasn't resistant to app stores.

> Wrong, here's receipts.

30%!

> Wrong, 15% unless you're a whale.

I don't get a dopamine hit from threads like this, they drain me. The opposing side gets a dopamine hit, reputation be damned.

I wish everyone would broaden their media sources as well as treasure history more (myself included.) I do appreciate flippant vs. philosophical exchanges like these to sift the comments for nuanced truths.
