- sjs 16y agoI don't have any data on this but I'd wager that piracy increases exposure even for a top 100 app; it would just pale in comparison to the existing exposure of being a top 100 app. People using an app are people using an app no matter how they acquired it.
- leon_ 16y ago> People using an app are ... potential support costs. So it matters if they paid for the app or not.
- sjs 16y agoOh, yes I agree there 100%. I didn't mean to imply that it's not a problem in any way, just that pirating users provide some exposure too. You could argue that they also decrease exposure by not counting as a download & dollar earned in the app store, but first you'd have to prove that all pirates would buy have purchased the app if not available for free, which I think many people agree is patently false.
- rmc 16y agoWith 100,000 apps, the majority of apps aren't in the Top 100. This means this pro-piracy approach will probably increase sales for the majority of apps.
