Apple has threatened to remove Amphetamine from the App Store

There's a great talk titled "Lessons Learned from the App Store" by Phillip Shoemaker - https://youtu.be/tJeEuxn9mug

One of the main points is that apple has a hierarchy of priorities for their App Store: protect Apple's brand, protect the customer, then make money (timestamp 5:08 in video). Apple probably got some complaints about the name of the program (probably 100 or less) and decided it wasn't worth the $0 it was making to leave it up.

> and decided it wasn't worth the $0 it was making to leave it up.

Then apparently they made a poor decision - the app apparently has been downloaded 500,000 times. That means it adds value to the users who use it, and that means it creates more value for Apple's platform. Apple shouldn't forget that developers add value to their platform, and moreover, with Apple charging them, they are also clients too!
