D-4got10-01104516h> 'Do you enjoy pain? Love being mistreated while paying $100 a year for it? Welcome to Apple Developer Enrollment!'
For some reason, I have read that in Billy Mays' voice in my mind.
Would watch such a commercial. -
kiki3683913hthat’s called “character building”. if you want to profit off of the biggest b2c ecosystem of users who _do_ pay for apps, be bothered to show some effort. $100? what a brilliant way to keep low effort apps away _while_ making money.
why bitch about it at all? if you don’t like it, go write for android.

Do you enjoy pain? Love being mistreated while paying $100 a year for it? Welcome to Apple Developer Enrollment!
You'd think for a company that claims to provide "seamless" experiences, their enrollment process would be super straightforward, but no, get ready to waste incredible time with generic error messages.
"Enrollment through the developer app is not possible for this account".
Great! Just great. My peasant app wasn't worthy of being on the almight App Store anyway. Forgive me for trying, my lord.
WTF.
First, they make you prove your existence with endless verifications. Need a D-U-N-S number? Good luck because it's a nightmare. Support? Barely helpful. And if anything goes wrong? Expect weeks of waiting with zero urgency from Apple.
And that $100? You pay it every single year, just to keep your apps measly alive. Meanwhile, Google charges a one-time $25. Fair? Not in Apple land.
And if they randomly decide your app has an issue? Boom, it'll be gone. No warning, no clear answers, just frustration.
So yeah, if you're a masochist who adores pain, jumping through hoops and paying for the privilege, Apple’s got you covered!
