Lots of things may be scams, but it's hard to see how a reasonable level of quality control is.

  There's no quality control in AppStore, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44732995 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44732995.

    Just because there are some quality control failures (even if there are many) doesn't mean there should be no quality control at all.
    • fsflover 1y ago
      If even well-known offenders remain there, it just means, there's no guarantee of quality at all.

        Again, just because there's no guarantee of quality doesn't mean there still can't be improvement in quality. Some measures are better than no measures. The world isn't black and white.

          Just compare it with Debian repositories. Where's the malware in there?

            What does that have to do with anything?

  What quality control? Are we talking about the same App Store where copyright infringement is blatantly on display? What a joke. I guess it doesn’t matter if its customers are equally as clueless.

    Where does quality control to spec compliance come into play on copyright issues? Is part of the spec compliance to be free of copyright infringement? /s Of course this is the infuriating type of response I'd expect to receive
