I kept scrolling because the line in the article “It’s like, there’s one video on YouTube, and it’s your video” rung hollow considering the CD had two music videos on it and I played them over and over.
Don't they offer downloads of Xcode outside of the App Store if you pay their developer program fee? That includes their SDKs. Theoretically there is only an expenditure of time and effort to build an iOS app on Linux. I forget if it is against their terms or not, but I don't think the SDK available is a barrier.
I used to use Instagram this way, but now my feed is 90% videos, memes and trash. I don't post there anymore either, because in the process of responding to comments and checking likes, I get sucked right back into those videos.
Of course I checked just now and the first post was photos by someone I actually follow. But not posts 2-.
