I said they didn't solve the problem. You said they did. I did not say that they solved the problem for all users. I said that "for some set of their customers", they did in my original post and reiterated that in my second post by saying "for that set of users". The set of users I am referring to is "adults who are not interested in softcore pornography". I apologize if it is unclear that by "some set" of customers and "that set" of users, I was referring to a set other than the whole set of all customers. My intent was to demonstrate that Apple's actions have not adversely effected all users equally and introduce the idea that considering the parties who have benefited is worthwhile, because realizing that consequences are not a binary good/bad is essential to understanding complex problems. I could have taken this further in my original post. My mistake. Additionally, I did not mean to suggest that the general problem of displaying information that doesn't interest a user had been solved. Frankly, I can't imagine a complete solution that does not involve technologies which don't exist. The App Store, as I see it, can never perfectly display only information the user is interested in, so I did not think this is what was meant. In that sense I was conflating "solution" with "improvement", much as one might say Hacker News is a "solution" to finding interesting things on the web, even though it is not perfect, does not work equally well for all users, and makes some effort to exclude softcore pornography. This could have been clearer had I quoted the sentence that followed in your original post, where after saying "They didn't solve the problem.", you say "The App Store's ability to show you apps hasn't improved." If there is any confusion between "solving" the problem and "improving", it began in your post. Nevertheless, I could have been clearer that I meant the problem had been mitigated and not truly "solved", and then only for the set of users I was indicating. I am not a perfect poster. Yes, the App Store got better for you. At no point was I referring to myself as an effected user. I have never in my life used the App Store. I do not and never have owned an iPhone or iPod Touch. I do not own any functioning Apple products.
