Pff that's nothing. I could build a fake app, in less than 1 hour, for $100 and get about 5 million downloads in 1 day.

Step 1. Find some opensource app code

Step 2. Call it Pokemon Go 2!

Step 3. Upload it to Appstore & link it to dropbox

Step 4. Spend $100 on African "talent" to give fake 5 star reviews & positive comments in app store.

Step 5. Hit F5 repeatedly at Appstore to watch the download counter increase to 5 million in 24 hours.

Step 6. Profit ?!?!

Step 7. Post story in /r/nosleep because too much guilt fooling 5 Million people.

Yeah, if you go to the play store and search for pokemon go you get hundreds of people making spin of type things and guides. Reminds me of ambulance chasers and art van salesmen. Just knowing that they make tons of money off their overnight app and I make st off an app I spent a lot of time on is discouraging.

What's the dropbox part for?

Why spend $100 on African talent when you can spend $5 on Indian talent?
