29. “First and foremost, there’s simply not enough targeted,
cost-effective ad inventory to make the method we used
work in today’s climate. Because it takes so many more
sales to maintain a chart position, it’s completely
impractical to “advertise your way into the charts”
nowadays.You’d easily go broke in a heartbeat attempting
to do so. With these current [ad] rates, it’s nearly
impossible for iOS developers to get any return on their
investment.”
