& let me clarify what i mean by calling Lamarche an Apple apologist (it could've been alot worse):

sure, we all signed up to the App Store terms. rightwingnuts usually think "well then, all bets are off, what happens happens, and any bad shit is your problem, you knew what you were getting into".

thousands have given it a shot, and won. lovely.

but quite a few also lost big, having invested heavily, only to be fucked over by vague or inconsistently applied approval criteria.

people on the outside don't make the app store approval process better.

people on the inside bending over & taking a reaming from Apple for the kinds of stupidity we've seen from Apple's borked approval process without saying a word, doesn't make the app store approval process better.

the only way the app store approval process will get better is when those on the inside bump into its shit and say Not Good Enough, Apple. they're not God, they're not infallible. and there's far too many lawyers involved.
