Thats fine for someone to say with no apps in the app store.
His previous app kept around 7 - 8 in his category chart and so he definitely benefited from the top charts.
Giving total exposure control to Apple would be an absolute nightmare for most developers that didnt have the exposure Marco does.
There are plenty of good apps, that Apple arent sometimes interested in, that users are, that do well by climbing the charts rather than being picked by some guy in Cupertino.
Marco is completely out of touch.
