    It's a money printing Skinner box optimizing at massive scale to get people to spend money, with a huge dataset of human interaction to push ever deeper on all those buttons to get people to spend money.

        Assuming that Epic's daily went down a bit to 1.5mil profit on iOS Fortnite after launch (and that number is after Apple's fee), that would mean that Apple makes 750,000 dollars a day on *JUST* Fortnite fees... So I guess I get why Apple is willing to go to war too.

                In this web, you gotta make the users give you the data first. Then when you get the data, you get the ads. Then when you get the ads, then you get the money.
