How? You have to pay register fee anyway, so lets set registering fee to 10$ and add 10$ publishing fee, and you still saving 5$. > If a spammer wants to publish 100 porn apps with ads, maybe he will repay > the 1000 $ in about a week. I used to have ad supported app on market, and from what I can tell, there is not even a slight possibility to generate such revenue from this crap (50k active user base generated 10$/day revenue on 4.5* rated app). Also note that you have to have this money upfront which is also a big "no-go" for spammers. Spammers relies on numbers and on fact that cost of spam generation is zero or near zero, for example there was a "dev" with 4k apps on market - that 40k$ which they need to paid upfront. -- Bart Janusz (Beepstreet) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
