| >AppGratis simply served a need, both on the consumer side (App discovery) as well as on the corporate side (app promotion) This exactly. I am sorry to say this but the submission appears lopsided. The submission accuses appgratis of being "black hat", but doesn't explain how. Does AppGratis run botnets which download apps? If it is genuine users downloading apps - the business is white hat. It doesn't matter if the users get points, dollars or karma for downloading stuff.(I haven't used appgratis) If instead of hurling accusations at appgratis, the author should have just said that 1. Apple runs the appstore.
2. It says you cannot have an app which mimics the appstore and
3. appgratis has no business taking over apple's territory. Because that is what the post ultimately boils down to. For me at least. I am sorry if the author of the submitted post feels offended. But it hurts to see people kick someone in the nuts when they are down. |
So you're a OK with pay-for-downloads but not botnets?
Is there really a difference?
