I know the standard advice is to 'just improve your game/app,' but look at games like the grand mafia. They use those fake 'Level 1 Crook' ads, and the actual gameplay is completely different and extremely p2w

You could spend $30,000 and still not be enough. Yet, they have 4.5 star rating. most apps like this do. How is that even possible? I would be okay with 4.1 rating, at 3.9 now..

Is $8k from 10.3k installs (no ads) actually below average? claude/gpt are telling me that 10k installs usually nets $12k–$15k and suggests I’m missing out by not using ads or hard paywalls.

I thought my conversion was decent. now I’m wondering if my iap setup needs a rework. what does your revenue look like at the 10k install mark?
