But I had to pay for access to this marketplace, only to have an arbitrary barrier put in place that can be paid to pass..

Isn't the whole review system supposed to promote good quality content?

This change, if genuinely implemented to try and improve app quality, actually only frustrates new developers that are trying to join the ecosystem.

20 people is quite a lot! After getting all my friends and family that use Android testing it, I still needed 10+ more 'testers'.

It’s a good point. YouTube for instance doesn’t gatekeep in the same way.

And for sure by no means am I suggesting this is the best way to go about it.
