    It's like that old $1k app called "I'm rich", it made the developer decent sales. I'm surprised this would pass today's store requirements though

    Even back then the app was pulled and refunds sent to everyone who bought it

    IIRC it was sold 8 times and 2 of those people managed to get refunded through Apple. Dude made like 5k though and Apple snagged like 3k with their cut.

    sold 8 for 1000 each, 5000 +3000=8000. 5k to the dev, 3k to apple.

    What about the 2 refunds? So 8-2=6

    Feels like a way to scam rich idiots.

    You know there's at least 1 non rich person who has or will buy this to somehow flex it.

    Interesting, Seems to be more like a Private meeting place or scam, But then again It would be invite only.

    Wow this really gives me nostalgia to the times when some youtubers bought this type of crazily stupidly expensive apps and when they launch the app it would just be like a clicking simulator or some stupid text like I am rich or I am stupid
