"The economic reality is that most apps offer next to no value to people."
This is completely wrong. The author of this article confuses price with value. Apps have tremendous value. But because of market dynamics, human nature, free alternatives, etc, they cannot sustain a high price. Price and value are different things altogether.
- icebraining 13y agoI agree. The problem to paid app sellers is that the extra value they provide - the difference between the free app and theirs - is low, not the absolute value. Even if your app solved half of my life problems, it'd still not be worth a lot if the free competitor solved 49% of them.
