  “ I mean I've read countless stories of app/software being thrown into abyss here on HN itself” Really? - I don’t remember the last time I read one. There are a few a year where there is a serious debate. Certainly plenty of people dislike the rules, but that isn’t the same as Apple just throwing away good apps. I think the statement that hundreds of good apps are being thrown into the abyss is bullshit. You are using the absence of evidence to support a strong claim. We really don’t know whether there is any truth to it or not. Given how many people seem to think this is such a problem, I’m surprised nobody has aggregated the stories.

    I haven't made any claim. I just said I've read countless such stories. But I'm too lazy to list them all here. >I think the statement that hundreds of good apps are being thrown into the abyss is bullshit Nobody cares about what you think. You, too, could have refuted the claim with data. Absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

      > Absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. This is absolutely true. I can’t prove there aren’t hundreds of apps being discarded. However you have now admitted that there is no evidence that there are. I challenged a poster who was making this claim as if it was a fact. It isn’t a fact, as you now agree. I think it’s important to call bullshit for what it is.

      How do you know nobody cares what the person thinks?
