   @Sominemo Sounds like an opportunity to launch a business of fake tester accounts to do this for small/indie devs

     Google Play is killing indie devs

     Google will now require developers to get 20 testers and developers will have to "test" their apps for two weeks before launching into public testing or production.

     Sorry but where am I, an indie dev who just publishes my small pet projects, supposed to get 20 testers?

     It's almost a school class, is a lot of people to get and sign up for your testing. I'm expecting for services to fake these testers to pop up.
