Hey, app? Nagging me to hell and back about your latest updates is *not* going to make me want to update. Nagging me to rate the app will not make me want to rate, and if I do, I will likely feel the urge to rate lower because your stupid popup barged in and interrupted what I was doing. In truth, I will likely want to ignore you and not use the damn app instead of tolerating this dumb bs. Why can we not just have apps that work instead of nagging you for everything under the sun every 8 seconds. Erg

@Kaliah@dragonscave.space YES. this. exactly this. *throws hands up* the rating popups are the WORST, especially when they interrupt you mid-thing. and then they get all sad when you give them one star like... you EARNED this, app. you brought this on yourself. *giggles*

@Kaliah@dragonscave.space We can't have that because most of the new stuff is not really needed. People would be perfectly happy if everything but fixing bugs stopped for a good five years. The users would be happy but the designers couldn't justify their pay, so every user have to be distracted and annoyed in hopes that the company-wide meeting on the last update we released will show that it's been downloaded some huge number of times.
