While none of Meta’s platforms made it onto the top 10 list for gross revenue, these platforms make a ton of money that doesn’t necessarily flow through app stores. The video-sharing platform was the top-grossing app on the App Store, and the second-highest-grossing on Google Play, coming just after Google One.

The photo in question appears to show a worker at one such place, sitting in front of what look like around 100 iPhone 5c units. Why would anyone want to do this? Simply put: because more downloads (perhaps accompanied by positive reviews) enhances apps’ chart position, thereby raising their discoverability level, and hopefully prompting people to download them. In fact - according to a photo which has gone viral on social media in China - it’s a place where devs can pay for their apps’ download numbers to be artificially inflated.
