Are founders less happy than population as a whole? Or is it that we expect founders of successful companies to be happy?
My app will call on our server to verify receipt and I was getting bogus receipts that actually caused that part of the code to crash.
Apple's receipts are proper json objects and what I was getting was this string "com.urus.iap.30297356." The last part keeps changing, so I am guessing the developer actually tracks usage.
So the moral is to always verify your receipts and don't deliver content unless the receipt is valid.
But most developers won't have resources to do this and creating a general service for them would be too much custom work. I think SDK platforms should have this capability built in. Pay $10/mo and we'll verify your receipt and return a file based on the IAP product id.
As for paying, this is a non-issue, you are going to pay either way.
This feature is only useful for a very minor audience. Most people don't create a lot of content, and won't bother tagging their short tweet/status.
Power users who do write a lot should already have blogs like the one the author is using.
Perhaps you need a learning filter that catches words that are too common and filters them out.
Patent trolls are exactly in this mold, the question is if there is a way to make money off of them?
Any system will have parasites. You can change system, i.e. patent reform, or introduce a predator for the parasite.
