TLDR: Apple wants to keep china happy, Stewart was going after china in some way, Apple said don’t, Stewart walked, the show is dead.
Not surprising at all, but sad and shitty and definitely reduces my loyalty to the platform. Hosting Stewart seemed like a real power play from Apple, where conflict like this was inevitable, but they were basically saying, yes we know, but we believe in things and, as a big company with deep pockets that can therefore take risks, to prove it we’re hosting this show.
Changing their minds like this is worse than ever hosting the show in the first place as it shows they probably don’t know what they’re doing or believe in at all, like any big company, and just going for what seems cool, and undermining the very idea of a company like Apple running a streaming platform. I wonder if the Morning Show/Wars people are paying close attention.
He’d be a great leading subscription for that new Grayjay app Louis Rossmann has launched https://grayjay.app
stop making off topic promotions of that flawed product
You’re implying I have made a series of promotions spamming the fediverse – I have not. Twice max, I think. I am merely a rando who found out about by accident around the same time as this story, and it looked kinda cool. Honestly haven’t launched it since taking one or two peeks since.
Is there some reason for the antipathy I am not aware of? I admit to liking Louis’ channel and his fight for right-to-repair…
