Remember when the App Store was nice?

The top ones were wholesome apps and games you bought once for like $3-$5. I remember WolframAlpha and Osmos, or like a copy of the Bible or a funny camera or something.

My glasses are not rose tinted: oh was there crap, but it was proper crap. It wasn't 1000 high budget, heavily marketed SEO clone apps flooding the top of searches and promoted to the top by the store system itself like it is now. It legitimately feels like Apple and Google are in on all these scams because it makes a little short term profit.
