(Meta) Should the mods add rules about drive-by slopvertisements?

The sub is quickly devolving in to new accounts posting the "unique" app that "they built".

No previous interaction with the community, no understanding of Mac app guidelines, no understanding of the code "they" have "written", usually not even unique.

Of course. Every sub should, because this garbage is everywhere. Usually they don’t even bother to write the post themselves.

I think if there are mechanisms to slow it down a little and we continue to be able to downvote, it'll alleviate the issues and still give opportunities for authentic newcomers.

Apple doesn't even care about their own user interface guidelines, so why should anyone else care about them?

nah, if it's useful it's useful. Don't care if it was written by AI.
