You're definitely right that we don't actually know what checks they're prioritizing, but it's hard for me to believe they're actually doing any quality checking when this is the #1 skill you see in the app: http://i.imgur.com/Qp4Cv6k.png

The iOS app store was mired in fart apps in the early days. Many of them were very profitable. I think it's just a natural growing pain of any consumer-facing app store.

I remember those days vividly, what's different here is the Alexa Skills list is sorted alphabetically so this fart app is what every single person who enters the "store" sees first.
