App-review Memes

Someone discovered that app store reviewers technically "download" your build every time you submit it for review. So naturally, the logical conclusion is to spam submissions until your download counter looks impressive. It's the developer equivalent of refreshing your own YouTube video to boost views. The "10+ Downloads" badge really sells the success story here—nothing says "viral hit" quite like barely scraping into double digits. Pretty sure this violates approximately 47 different App Store guidelines, but hey, technically correct is the best kind of correct.
