Creators, credit cards and cloud gaming made the subscription headlines this week. TikTok is finally going to share ad revenue, but not all creators will get cash; Apple no longer accepts debit or credit cards for subscription and app purchases in India; and gamers can now play Fortnite on their iOS and Android phones for free. Also, TurboTax’s owner Intuit has to pay $141 million to customers they unfairly charged, publishers are experimenting with personalization on their home pages, and Google blocked 3.4 billion ads and suspended 5.6 million accounts in 2021.
