I mean I've read countless stories of app/software being thrown into abyss here on HN itself. Does Apple release any such data? Where does a guy with no network report to about such incidents?
Please don't argue for the sake of argument.
Really? - I don’t remember the last time I read one. There are a few a year where there is a serious debate. Certainly plenty of people dislike the rules, but that isn’t the same as Apple just throwing away good apps.
I think the statement that hundreds of good apps are being thrown into the abyss is bullshit.
You are using the absence of evidence to support a strong claim.
We really don’t know whether there is any truth to it or not.
Given how many people seem to think this is such a problem, I’m surprised nobody has aggregated the stories.

Nobody cares about what you think. You, too, could have refuted the claim with data.
Absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
This is absolutely true.
I can’t prove there aren’t hundreds of apps being discarded.
However you have now admitted that there is no evidence that there are.
I challenged a poster who was making this claim as if it was a fact.
It isn’t a fact, as you now agree.
I think it’s important to call bullshit for what it is.
What actual evidence do we have for this?
We know about edge cases that do make the media.
We know about cases that make the media but which don’t get much sympathy.
Is there any actual evidence that hundreds of useful app are being discarded?
