This is so true, except for that one glorious, fleeting period when iOS apps were new and you could be an overnight millionaire with something like Flappy Bird.

Flappy Bird didn't become popular until 2014, when the App Store was already 6 years old.

Oh, hush. The broader point is just that the barrier for entry was very, very low for a brief period.

I definitely bought a $0.99 app that you could tip up to your face to make it look like you were drinking a beer.

Very, very low.
