The barrier to entry is so low, actual malicious developers could create thousands of accounts. Adding a human touch to all those closures would be untenable. They firet need to raise the bar. But then android loses its beginner friendliness.

- dividuum 3y agoMaybe those platforms should take a little cut from any income they make from apps to pay for more oversight and developer support… Oh
- scarface_74 3y agoAnd how does that help if the app is free, ad supported or supported by subscriptions outside of the store?
- raft75 3y agoMy apps were paid or ad supported with Admob, that is owned by Google. So, in both cases, I was sharing my income with Google.
- scarface_74 3y agoI’m in no way shape or form defending Google here, FWIW
- theshrike79 3y agoiOS App Store manages a human touch just fine. Google just has a weird need to try to automate everything to the point where finding an actual human with enough privileges to overrule the AI model is getting impossible.
- myaccountonhn 3y agoThey definitely have the money for doing it, they just don’t want to. They rather completely screw over the developers who have little choice in what App Store to target. They should not be allowed to gatekeep like this without properly paying to support developers.
