App developers face unique challenges in today’s landscape, especially when they look to grow:
App stores charge high fees (up to 30%), have restrictive policies, and allow limited pricing flexibility
IDFA changes and SKAN limitations make it harder to optimize marketing spend
Global complexity when selling on on the web, including varying tax requirements
Engineering resources diverted to payment infrastructure
As a Merchant of Record (MoR), Paddle becomes the reseller of your app on the web, managing payments, tax liability and compliance, customer billing support and fraud and chargebacks.
In short, you get “MoR”— MoR growth, MoR confidence, MoR headspace.
Latest Happenings
Instagram is ramping up its AI-powered age detection to ensure teens are placed in safer, restricted accounts. This move aims to protect young users from inappropriate content and interactions.
What You Need to Know:
Instagram uses AI to detect teens who misrepresent their age.
Teens are placed in "Teen Accounts" with safety restrictions.
Teen Accounts limit exposure to sensitive content and restrict who can contact them.
Parents will receive notifications about their teen's account settings.
Teens can adjust their settings if placed in a restricted account by mistake.
Why This Matters:
This initiative enhances online safety for teens, ensuring they have a more secure and age-appropriate experience on Instagram. It also empowers parents to stay informed and involved in their children's digital lives.
OpenAI has introduced Flex processing, a new API option that offers lower costs for AI tasks in exchange for slower response times. This move aims to make AI more accessible for non-critical applications.
What You Need to Know:
Users report better ChatGPT-4 performance with polite prompts, though OpenAI says politeness isn’t required.
Saying “please” may subconsciously encourage users to write clearer, more specific requests.
Altman clarified that politeness doesn’t change the AI’s core functionality—it’s about user experience.
OpenAI aims to make AI interactions feel natural, even if “manners” aren’t technically necessary.
Why This Matters:
As AI becomes a part of everyday life, it's essential to recognize the environmental and financial impacts of routine interactions. This awareness calls for a shift in how we use AI, emphasizing the need for energy-efficient advancements.
Bluesky has launched its blue check verification system to confirm the authenticity of notable accounts, aiming to reduce impersonation and build trust among users.
What You Need to Know:
Bluesky’s blue checks verify legitimate accounts, such as public figures and organizations.
Verification is managed by “Trusted Verifiers,” independent organizations that confirm account authenticity.
The system complements Bluesky’s existing domain-based verification.
Initially, applications for verification are not open, but a request form will be introduced later.
Over 270,000 accounts have already linked their usernames to websites for verification.
Why This Matters:
This feature strengthens Bluesky’s commitment to user trust and safety, addressing impersonation issues and ensuring reliable sources of information on the platform.
