Why not just have an "adult" section that doesn't show up on the Top 25, or only shows up when you opt-in? That seems to be a better solution than arbitrary ce

  I agree, and I don't know why people don't see that Apple can totally have a half-hidden Adult category that requires you to login with your Apple ID and confirm your birth date before being able to view it in the dropdown list, with no mention whatsoever of the existence of the category on the main app store pages even if you're logged in. I also don't know why people don't realize that Apple has parental controls and ratings for apps already both in the store and on the devices. They can piggyback on those to restrict adult apps even further. Furthermore, the comment you replied to is mentioning a problem that is rampant in the entire store, which prompted Apple to do things like banning developers with thousands of near-identical apps (that I'm sure we can agree is abuse) and creating another category for books (remember those idiots that would upload 99 cent public domain ebooks?). Apple can improve the storefront in general to make it more optimized for searching/viewing applications, not music or movies. Clearly these apps are popular and Apple needs to stop judging apps based on content (only rating, not judging) and just screen for security/stability purposes.
