App Store as Zeitgeist

From the excellent Morning Brew newsletter:

One way to find out where people’s heads are at is by looking at the top of the App Store rankings. Last year it was Zoom, in February it was Robinhood, and yesterday, with the Colonial pipeline shutdown causing all kinds of havoc, GasBuddy topped the list for the first time ever.

I looked at the Play Store India rankings. I’d have expected the Aarogya Setu and CoWin apps to be higher on that list, although entertainment apps domainating is a good sign.
