It actually just depends on your algorithm and what you're searching for. It's actually a great place for news and entertainment. Also a lot of stuff the sell and promote is ether cutting edge or very useful at a decent price. Plus if you do create good content or a good salesperson you can make good money. Apps only as dumb as you let it be.
