   I think it bothers OP less that they take a 15% tax than the fact that google provides terrible support for their own play store. If they would take that tax and provide good feedback and speedy version reviews, nobody would ever complain - it is expected to pay something since the play store doesn't run on good thoughts and prayers. But because they're a monopoly (or a duopoly if you count apple, which is a different platform altogether) they can afford to act this way.

      people hate taxation without representation. That's why this model has to be unsustainable, but the legislation has not caught up at all.

         This isn't taxation. It's just a silly name for a fee. Fees are what make things sustainable.

            It’s not a fee, thats just a silly name for a tax. Taxes are what make things sustainable.
