By "easy to stop" you mean "costs so much money (i.e. human effort) as to be even more costly than bad PR", in other words "takes TONS of effort to stop".

- tralfam 17y agoI have no idea where you are pulling these quotes from. I said none of those things. I said said they could stop it if they wanted to. It might cost a little extra, but it also wouldn't completely screw over a bunch of small developers. Developers who already paid money to Apple and further invested their time and money into making an application. Based of how prevalent iPhone app rejections are, you would think the least Apple could do would be to release a comprehensive list of things they do not like. Would it really cost 'TONS' of effort just to create a set of guidelines and stick to them?
- xenophanes 17y agoyou said > Textbook "evil", no. But, it wouldn't be hard to stop these things. Apple takes a calculated approach because they know the few wrongfully rejected apps won't cost them as much money as implementing a beefier review process in other words, you advocate spending more money on reviews. how much? an amount that costs more than the bad PR. you say this explicitly. how much is "more than the bad PR"? quite a lot. you and i both agree the PR is a big deal.
