First of all, thank you [and everyone here] for adding your thoughts.
The goal of using hyperbole in the title was twofold: 1. hope to get out of the slush pile of "new" 2. someone might have specific knowledge of a similar situation wrt apple. Even with the click-bait title, it just BARELY got out of slush with 3 votes.
My son and I had a good talk. He teared up a bit, but I could see determination to not get ripped off again. I think he will internalize that motivation to his benefit. He will not likely, though, submit his best ideas to contests. He does all the design, code, graphics and music.
That is one of the things that is always hard to judge here. I will respond to, but not upvote a post with a click-bait title. The Ask and Show sections also help posts some attention even if they never make it near the front page.
I appreciate the response, and I hope your son continues to work at it.
