Ever wondered how some apps skyrocket up the charts while you’re still stuck optimizing screenshots? 🤔

In this talk from RevenueCat’s App Growth Annual 2025, Steve P. Young reveals the most controversial app growth hacks, ASO tricks, and questionable strategies dominating the App Store today.

You’ll learn:

✅ What “keyword installs” really are — and why big companies secretly use them

✅ Why some “grey-hat” tricks still work (but come with a warning )

✅ What Apple’s quietly cracking down on in 2025
