Well the idea of a curated App store is something of a myth. Perhaps you recall Apple having to [pull thousands of maleware apps](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34338362) and of course there are the recent high profile incidents of malware in the [Ubuntu Snap store](https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/05/ubuntu-snap-malware) and even [docker hub](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/17-backdoored-docker-images-removed-from-docker-hub/) Bottom line is I think it is hard running app stores and curating them effectively. So for Microsoft this is part of their learning curve ;)

Oh, absolutely. I happen to be a mobile app marketing specialist so this topic is a very relevant one for me. It's very hard to scale curation without being open to abuse. As always, the answer is giving the USERS the power to crowdsource quality scoring. The problem with that is the same as with steemit - the lack of a reliable user authority algorithm to give "real" users a higher weight that bots and fake accounts made for burst campaigns and keyword bursts on mobile app stores.

In the Linux world there have been many attempts at trying to rate and review applications but the engagement always seems low. Not really sure why that is when it is quite a natural thing to do. I have noticed that on Steem quite a few bots chase you trying to trick you into upvotes or to catch on the coattails of your success but they are more annoying than being really disruptive. But only part of it is gaming the system, Steettiquette too needs to be formalised as well and I personally always upvote things I generally like and any replies to me that I feel worth it. I want my appreciation to be seen and more importantly seen to be seen. But that is a long process and this is the internet after all so I am pragmatic about it's success. We shall see though.. we shall see.
