Yesterday on Twitter, a well-known man complained about his two year-old daughter making in-app purchases on her parents’ iPad:
Fuck any game company that puts in-app purchases on kids games!!!

That makes no sense!!! We give the iPad to our child and every 5 minutes there’s a new purchase!!! — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) October 10, 2015
If a game is made for a 2 year old, just allow them to have fun and give the parents a break for Christ sake.

Wow! That’s no fun. Kanye West has a net worth of millions and millions of dollars, so I’m very curious as to what kind of damage Nori could have done to prompt these tweets. Also, these tweets are particularly funny since Nori’s mother’s branded app — Kim Kardashian: Hollywood — netted $70 million in revenue last year, largely if not entirely through in-app purchases.
In fact, here’s a remarkably similar complaint from author Ayelet Waldman about that very app last year:
Evil, vile Kardashian Hollywood tricked my 11 yr old into spending $120 in 2 days. He’s crying hysterically. Pox on those fuckers.

And here’s another entertaining one about what we might look forward to in the future:
Looking forward to future kanye tweets about data overages, someone playing with the thermostat & why are so many lights on

One last thought: It sure would be amusing if the in-app purchases Nori made were on her mom’s app. If you have any inside information about this, please email noah@recode.net. Thank you.
