The Apple App Store (and Google Play Store) have a fairly large barrier to entry. To develop an app, you needed to actually code one. Learning objective C, Swift or Java isn't easy and therefore you had to have some skill to gain entry. With the GPT store, anyone that could type out some instructions could build a GPT and submit it. There was 0 barrier to entry and the flood of spam was a foregone conclusion. They should have either vetted the GPTs, invited select developers, or charged a large developer fee to be included to increase the quality and reduce the spam.
