> if the App Store had never existed? ...even though it lays golden eggs Why is the general rebuttal always binary? Be grateful that it exists at all! It lays golden eggs! No, they're just eggs. A few of us are lucky to sell a lot of eggs. That doesn't make them golden. The true gold eggs are grown despite the store (Netflix, YouTube, OpenAI). Imagine an App Store that only lets you make black and white apps, but the store itself can produce full-color apps. Further, if your black and white app is actually successful, they'll copy it and release their version in color. That's what's hindering us today. | |||||||||||||||||
