No. I don't think they should get jack shit. But if you're going to have a policy of paying people off, it should be meaningful.

My job was unlikely to be done by AI. Hell, it could barely be done by a human. Just way too much uncertainty involved on a day to day basis. Throw in people changing their minds all the time, running meetings of various kinds and so forth, etc. just seems unlikely.
Maybe in 5-10 years, MAYBE.
I would definitely still be doing it if I had not quit.

Keep paying them a salary until they find another suitable job, with a requirement that they actively search for one.
Limit payouts to say, 3 years or 5 years or something along those lines.

My job pays annually. What about this 1%?

The job is likely to be around. It's just a matter of who or what is performing it.

Why shouldn't they get the same amount if they are displaced for any other reason?

You use it, you pay.
It's the most fair tax there is.

I'm not worried. Just making conversation. Why so hostile?
My head isn't all that pretty anymore these days anyway. Brain cancer takes its toll after a while.

As a side note, I simply like being able to see all my subscriptions together in one place and I'm happy to pay a premium for that convenience. I bet lots of others are as well. Laziness has a cost associated with it, but plenty are happy to pay that cost.
Maybe plenty are not too. I dunno, I just doesn't see it moving the needle for a lot of people.

Not sure where the $9 is coming from, or the yearly rate.
In my example, I spent $30, not $30-year. It just one time fee.
Now, as it so happens, there is another app inlay for that has a $30/year fee. Even if I could save a whopping $9 by using a third party link or whatever the proposal is, it'd still not worth the effort of dealing with another payment outlet. Like I said, I'm lazy. Now, if I could some save $100, that might get my attention. But I'm not paying anywhere close to that for anything on my phone. Are there such fees anyone is paying?
At the end of the deal, there just isn't much appeal for me. I realize plenty will stop and lick up pennies, I'm just not one of them. I wonder how much traction this will really get with the masses. Maybe it will get tons. I'm inclined to bet on the lazy though.

The last thing I bought on my phone through Apple's App Store was $30.
At 30%, that's supposedly as much as $4.50 "extra" that I might not have paid through another App Store. Supposing I could have saved as much as half buying elsewhere, that's barely $2.
Two lousy dollars. Why am I going to enter all of my payment info and deal with some other vendor for two lousy dollars?! I wouldn't. Not ever. If nothing else, I'm too lazy. As a consumer, I'm just not interested in other payment mechanisms.

I don't have an objection to Apple "controlling" the memory that goes into their computers.
Today, for me, I'll just spend whatever, I don't care. At the time of this story I recollected, I was a student and that extra money was a huge deal. As it was, I paid $5500 for that complete system as it was.
Fun fact, I used my savings a 3.5" internal 170MB HD. My peers had 80MB hard drives. Given that the A/UX operating system we were required to run took 72MB or so (I think that was with X Window layer(, that was a big deal. It left me room to run more standard Mac apps and optional X apps.
