I like your reasoning
It's a good thing because it reduces the number of fake reviews (or at least of free fake reviews).
So basically those who can afford it can still fake it. Thus giving more credit to the bogus reviews.
how about not clearing crappy apps for sale, i think that's the bottom line, like the ones that claim to be the end all be all of there genera , but obviously look like the were assemble in a week with some drag and drop game engine, and support pages point to nowhere,
Other wise apple is complacent in this scam, by collect their thirty percent, by endorsing crap
Also
Why didn't they do this retroactively, I just found an app out there (TouchDown)who's support page is http//localhost and the developer page points to apple.com , and 10 5 star reviews
Claiming it's the best bang for you buck since the 'Big one'.
In reality is unplayabe, but there are reviiews stating that as well, making it totally obvious that the is some deception going on there.
I could just gift 100 copies of their @ 99cent app flood their reviews with 5 star ratings saying how much they love the game, stating how better it is than my 5.99 compeating app With all the extra features.
Scanners will still scam, waterer hurdles present,
I got and idea that could save 100's of lives a year, shut down all the airports, and we will never have to deal with a commercial plane crash again, not mater the consequences, it still helps save lives right.
