You're confusing cause and effect - most people only interact with the first page of comments because they're on the first page, and they don't want to click through. If you disable pagination, then suddenly far more peop

I think that you're assuming that the number of apps that can be reviewed by a human remains constant over time. If Google hires programmers to do the review process, they can identify patterns, develop new techniques, and build tools

Out of curiosity, what's your CPU utilization? Every bloated Electron-based app I've ever seen also happened to consume cycles while sitting there doing nothing. I'm willing to give up my RAM, but not my CPU.

I can't bypass the paywall, but I infer from the title and some of the comments that at least part of the problem is the proliferation in the number of books being written. From what I see, the solution is pretty simple - build and use
