Bootstrapping My Side Project to $6k/Month

Good lord, that project is truly horrifying.

So many crap apps pumped into the store.

I guess at the bottom, the money is coming from ad revenue, so I guess somewhere there are people who actually use these apps?!? Or I guess maybe it is just a lot of people getting tricked.

Kudos, I guess, to the author, for coming clean. I never would have admitted to something like this publicly. (Then again, I never would have done this kind of thing in the first place. By the way, I don’t know if I have a price, but it sure as hell isn’t $6K/mo.)

Would you define crap apps though ? I'm not sure we're on the same page here.

None of the apps made through the software contain malware or spam or anything "horrifying", they simply lack originality.

I would say a low-value, low-effort app is bad ("crap").

Your system encourages lots and lots of very low-effort, low-value apps. So crap at scale. That's horrifying to me.
