Comment Expected larger discrepancy (Score 2) 33
I'm surprised the top 5% of apps only made 200 times the revenue of the bottom quartile. I would have expected that multiplier to be in the the millions, as I expected the average earnings of the bottom quartile to be nearly $0.
I'm curious what they meant by a subscription app. About half of the apps on my phone's home screen require paid subscriptions, but I don't pay them in the app store. Examples include Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube, all of which I have a monthly or yearly subscription for. But I don't think I have a single subscription which is managed by Google's Play Store.
