The vast majority of Apps receive effectively no marketing from the App Store, they are invisible except for a brief moment when they're listed under "latest".

  You aren’t using the store correctly if you believe that. Marketing isn’t just “ads”. Look it up.

    There's millions of apps on the App Store and of those, only a few hundred are visible at one point in time. Are you telling me that millions of apps are just not using the store "correctly", that Apple would feature them if only they had "looked it up?"

      Are you joking? I’ve been selling in the App Store for nearly a decade, haven’t had an app ranked in any chart for at least 5 years, do zero advertising, yet the checks keep rolling in. Explain how.

        > Explain how. I'm supposed to explain to you why your apps, of which I know nothing, keep selling? For one, it might have something to do with the fact that you have been on the App Store for a decade and that your apps do actually show up in recommendations. Not every App gets that. Secondly, whatever your Apps do, they might be referenced on aggregators. When I look for an App to solve a problem, I google it. Inevitably, I'll end up on some site comparing apps for that purpose. The App Store doesn't do anything for me here. You need to understand that you're the exception and that your experience doesn't generalize.
