What's going on with Self promotion on r/Apple sub?
In the past, the r/Apple has been pretty awesome for indie devs for launching their app. They've immediately gained lot of recognition, constructive criticism, praise, etc. But for some time now I already see a weird pattern with all new App launches. Doesn't matter if the app is of entertainment, utility, medical category - they are all just immediately received very negatively. In most cases, promo Sunday posts get downvoted immediately, and whenever some of the apps have in app purchases, they get tons of hatred in comment section - although these purchases are often just to cover dev prices (account, backend, marketing....).
I can't be the only one that noticed this shift of opinion towards dev community, right? What did trigger all of this? As an example I post screenshot that I've taken just a short while ago while scrolling through that sub - immediately downvoted posts even though they were just submitted by the devs.
