Apps are paywalls

This is not my idea, though I wonder if I'm the first to word it like this. It's a current trending topic. When we first got our cute iPhone and started getting all the cool apps for a buck, instead of the $50 we were used to paying for PC software, we were very excited. But I think we got hoodwinked. I think what we are really getting is our free web pages, web content, web apps, web games, for a buck. That's right, these apps are a paywall for the Internet, and the web. Anybody scared?
