Not sure what you mean: OpenAI's App Store doesn't charge and has discoverability. (hence the viability of the spam, hence TFA)
OP is likely affected by the change from plugins to GPTs
Now, users have to manually select an app. Whereas before, you'd have a list of, say, 5 apps and the AI would attempt to intelligently determine which app to use.
OpenAI said plugins didn't find product-market fit, and that's why they moved on.
It's worth opining there's an air of rushing around doing nothing with their product development. Like instead of "what should it be?", and building it, and sustaining it, it's a pastiche of every startup shibboleth you've ever heard - sprints, if 10-20% of the user base / 10^7 users aren't using it within 3-5 months, it's time to Pivot (throw away the working solution we invested in)
That makes sense when you're at 100 users in an uncertain market but at their scale, it reminds me more of how Google ended up with the reputation it has.
* forgive me for not air-quoting app and app store, these aren't __apps__ per se, but it was immensely distracting, with an air of condescention, when I air-quoted everything
- chrsig 3y ago> Not sure what you mean: OpenAI's App Store doesn't charge and has discoverability. (hence the viability of the spam, hence TFA) I think the point was that the app store charge acts as an effective filter for spam, enough so as to determine the sustainability of the app store ecosystem. I could very well be mistaken though, that was just how I interpreted it.
