After the laughable fiasco of Apple's "top 10 albums," does anyone care what Apple votes or nominates for awards?

PS Apple itself says its music "top ten" is "an editorial statement, fully independent of any streaming numbers on Apple Music." In other words, propaganda.

It's 100% marketing for the AppStore, not merit based.

I remember checking the apps back then and you could find nice ones. Today we have participation trophies (it depends on the developer and not the app!) and the the en-shittification of apps by turning them to subscription and adding so much tracking that any app today is 200mb-400mb!
 
Some interesting apps in the list. Waiting to see which one will be the winner

NY times/Amazon, and billboard top/best sellers all edotorial lists.Why does any one believe otherwise? NYT admitted in court that their best seller list has nothing to do with sales.

Anyone have Copilot Money? I just downloaded the free trial and liking it so far. All my finances, in one place!

Copilot Money is amazing and full of great features. Just a few gripes. I wish it had a native iPad app and wish it supported Apple Card, but that’s more of an Apple induced limitation. Also wish it was about $50 a year rather than $100. Feels a bit overpriced.
