Surely if your app's sole source of success is a spending a short amount of time on some website's front page, you have bigger issues with your business strategy?

Go back a few years and everyone used to talk about their struggles getting featured on TechCrunch; I didn't believe it was make-or-break back then either.

The way I look at is as an opportunity cost for both producers and consumers.

In place of a valuable app/product, what the consumers would get is a lemon.
