According to news on the evening of October 26, Beijing time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) said today that the hatred between Apple and streaming music service provider Spotify is worrying. In addition, Apple's newly announced "30% cut on social media advertising" is indeed a bit too high.

Spotify CEO Daniel Eke (Daniel Ek) wants Spotify to become the main channel in the audio world, expanding the company's business from streaming subscriptions, music and podcasts to audiobooks, but has encountered a familiar obstacle: Apple.

In the past month, Apple has rejected the Spotify app three times, saying its new audiobooks violate Apple's rules on "how developers communicate with customers about online purchases."

In order to comply with Apple's rules, Spotify hides the price of its audiobooks and does not allow users to buy content in the app. Instead, the user needs to select the book he wants to buy, and then Spotify sends the user a link via email to view it online.

Spotify said the process hurt not only consumers but also authors and publishers, who were completely suppressed by Apple. 'Apple still puts competitors at a disadvantage, having a huge impact on application developers, consumers, publishers and authors, 'Ike said on Twitter.

"if policy makers don't take action, nothing will change," Ike said. I can't be the only one who sees this absurdity. " Later, Musk replied to Ike's post on Twitter: "worrying."

At the same time, Musk responded to another post about Apple's newly announced "30% cut on social media advertising", saying that "30% is really too high."

Earlier this week, Apple updated its payment policy, requiring users and advertisers to use Apple's "in-app purchase" channel when buying "promotional" posts on social software such as Instagram, from which Apple charged a commission of up to 30 per cent.

In response, Meta previously said in a statement: "Apple said it would not charge developers' advertising revenue, but now they have obviously changed their mind."
