So what? If you don't like them, don't play. Most of them will never get to 50 downloads anyway. This is natural selection.

Are you sure Flappy Bird was the first of its kind?!?!?
- eropple 13y agoApple and Google shouldn't want a bunch of crap that won't get fifty downloads on their stores.
- TelmoMenezes 13y agoI wonder how Google's search engine deals with all the crap sites that get less than fifty page views a year...
- eropple 13y agoNot a good analogy. Google isn't tacitly endorsing those websites. It is endorsing things in its store, at least to the level of "we think it's worth taking the vig for this".
- 10feet 13y agoProbably prioritises them very low, so they do not rock up in a lot of searches. Maybe puts them on the old server in the corner of the room. There is a website that lets you search minus the million most popular websites, and it is very different.
- castis 13y agoI never said I don't like them, do not put words in other peoples mouths, it's not nice. I am trying to explain the behavior of a process you don't seem to be privy to. Don't get so worked up over something that ultimately doesn't matter.
- yawz 13y agoI'm sorry. I should've been clearer: If one doesn't like them then one doesn't have to play. "You" was not directed to your person. ;)
