@slightlyoff It's worse IMO, Apple and FB's interests are aligned here. Apple is an ad company, full stop. Roughly 1/5th of their net income comes from the Google ad deal. Just because Google is getting their hands dirty doesn't change that Apple is *as dependent* on ads as anyone else in the game. There's thus a huge incentive to maintain other players as well, both as leverage over Google but also to keep optionality. Because maybe tomorrow an FB ad deal makes more sense than a Google ad deal.
