tl;dr - the stuff you're worried about is probably moot to the average consumer, which is why Apple continues to make sales.

If Apple was more developer-friendly, which they are absolutely not as a company, you would think that all replies to rejection e-mails should go through this board. But unfortunately, that's not the case - you have to go through a different process to submit an appeal, which is what it sounds like the blog poster has done (to get a call with them scheduled.)

The header is literally "Figure out where to work from." but it's really "Decide if you want to work from home", as far as I understand.

One day, you may have a need for a product, and someone who previously solved your need can’t afford to make the product anymore because only a small percentage of people realized it was a solved problem.

The first jumped off the page at me:

"She is involved in The Drunken Canal, a regional print publication based New York City"

This is also bad writing:

“Honor Levy was conflicted about pulling her piece from The Drunken Canal, a regional New York print paper she began last year. She had several short stories published in the New Yorker, but this felt different.”

Regional is a redundant descriptor if New York is included. Just saying "regional" would make the sentence flow better. "Print paper" also doesn't have meaning, it's something the author made up.

Flight attendants commonly use coffee grounds to mask the other, worse smells.

And how is Facebook telling you exactly what they use the tracking for "gaslighting"?

A grainy picture taken in someone's bathroom with the caption "She's hilarious and unpredictable, so get ready for laughs!", and a couple one-liners from names that could be completely fake, does not tell me that this is going to be worth the money.

With Apple, you may have to convince them of your opinion, but you can very quickly talk to a human who will reply with an actual, thoughtful response.

With Google, if you manage to get a human on the other side of the line, you’re probably weeks or months later, several automated forms and replies deep, and completely confused.

Also, this feels really similar to another project that launched on HN this month, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25059133 (although Supabase focuses more on scalability, while Etebase focuses more on privacy?). Might be some interesting discussion there.
