Depends on what ads are showing and what they are bidding (vs. what you can afford to bid for the marginal traffic) but yes can be very much worth it to pay google's troll toll.

Also just saw that. I wonder why YT vid and article both feature “Milk and Honey”

removed from the EU app stores, right?

If you have any more info on this, would love to hear more.
I spent a couple days trying to deconstruct what the apk sites bidding on adwords for our brand (ecommerce free app) were doing. Proxied traffic and didn’t see anything fishy. Chalked it up to ad arbitrage in the end. Didn’t seem like getting people to download the apk was the primary goal.

Sounded cool, but seems like it’s (!expert) a closed beta. I just get redirected to expert.nl, maybe requires the ultimate plan? The docs are pretty unclear.

Really 0%? It seems like some of the buyers would return their mattress and buy another. If 10% return and 90% of those buy another brand, that seems to me like an above average audience to market mattresses to.

It’s possible that an audience that is very likely to buy a mattress are recent mattress buyers.

The eye tracking sounds like a killer feature (I can imagine how it could enable reading with touchless, perfect, infinite scrolling). Sadly, from my brief read of the docs, it seems like Apple doesn’t allow apps to access what people are looking at (“to preserve privacy”) though.

Also love how they nag me to enable siri and make safari the default browser every update.

Was only a problem with my first try (the Macbook air, right after release)
My 2nd try with the MBP in 2022, following the guide I linked above, Android Studio has been perfect.

I have pods that haven’t been updated to work with arm yet.

I didn't realize it wasn't already ARM. I found one day (https://stackoverflow.com/a/68929949) that running Simulator with Rosetta allows momentum scrolling to work, and everything else seemed perfect, so I left it that way.

I tried going from a 2018 MBP to M1 MBA in 2021 and had too many issues to make it my primary machine. Docker and Android development were particularly brutal to get going reliably IIRC. The M1 performed well for the things it could do, but I still needed the MBP (which constantly reached 100% CPU) for other stuff, so I ended up doing a horrible multi-machine setup with Synergy. That was a dark time in my life ;)
Then tried again early this year with a M1Max MBP, and it has been the biggest step change productivity boost of my life. Definitely still some pain points, but the way this thing handles anything I throw at it is incredible.
I'm mostly doing front-end dev (react native). Have a minimum of 2 IDEs, 1 iOS simulator, 1 Android simulator, Windows (ARM) Virtualbox, 2 browsers open at all times. And then add a mix of Docker, XCode, Android Studio, Zoom, Sketch, Affinity apps, Slack, Zoom, etc. I haven't ever heard the fan spin up. I was carefully managing what I had open on the 2018 MBP, and now I don't even think about it.
The only thing I'm still running in Rosetta is Apple software: XCode and the iOS simulator, but they run smooth, so I don't even think about it.
The MBA setup I was just flailing my way through. For the M1Max setup, I found this guide very helpful in my initial setup (mostly focused on a RN Dev): https://amanhimself.dev/blog/setup-macbook-m1/
