Summary

Responding to a developer who wants to give listeners full control over value splits, Dave agrees in principle. But apps guide users, and that means guardrails, the way browsers honor content security policies. Users shouldn't be able to strip out a show's charity split. Anyone who wants no limits can write that app; it's all open.
