There's going to be plenty of scarcity to go around for the rest of our lives.
And unless you're already in the top 1%, or unless you believe full-on socialism will ever catch on in a country run by and for the benefit of capitalists and corporatists, you can personally expect to see a lot more of it once everything worth doing has been automated.

What, seriously...? That concept definitely- at least- pre-dates the invention of search engines. I could probably dig up a relevant 90-year old essay by Edward Bernays if I cared to take the time.
Came here to post just that. It's called 'Bonobo', there's a picture of a gorilla, and the page keeps saying 'monkey'- as petty as it sounds, you're probably losing potential users to zoological nerdrage.
Yes, hackernews and twitter brutally told me I should take animal reign culture classes asap ...
This being said, if any of you have a good picture of bonobos that I can use instead of the current one, I'd be really glad to replace it! It needs to be released under a free license, though.
First read I was thinking- 'well, maybe that's what you were, but don't be so hard on yourself...' realized you must have omitted the word 'developing'.
As a former indie iOS dev, ( ie. a tool for Apple Computer Inc. ), my honest feedback is- if I was ever making enough on the App Store to afford a $15 monthly subscription, I wouldn't need the help; for the most part indie iOS developers don't make jack so our #1 consideration for any product is going to be "Is it free...?"
Of course if you already figured that out; but saw that people were thinking "Why the hell am I not making any money on the App Store, maybe I need; like; SEO?" and are likely to give it a try- even if they don't like it, even if it doesn't work, you still got $15 out of that customer which is 10x what they're making on each customer who downloads their $1.99 app; so- good on you.
It would probably only take a few months to work out if the tool was going to drive a return for you, that is $45. I doubt the kind of customer they would want would be one that wasn't prepared to put down $45.
I realize it is a different target market but often SEO/search marketing/email/retargeting solutions can cost thousands of dollars upfront, without any guarantee of a return.
Maybe you just weren't doing it properly, or not focusing on the right market(s)? I have made plenty through both the iOs & Mac app store as an indie dev.
While you're manually deleting things... there are currently way too many that are just exact reposts of the default swaying black bars. Probably accidents rather than people being deliberately lame, but low-hanging fruit for any kind of automatic cleanup.
