    Putting an app on the app store was one of my worst mistakes. I still get spam years after it getting delisted due to being abandoned.

    Sub for sub is a pretty standard social contract between upstarts. It looks beneath you because your livelihood isn’t going up against goliaths.

    I remember old YouTube having these kinds of exchanges. I would get DMs asking for a five star rating on a video they uploaded about some relevant topic in exchange for a likewise five star rating. I miss those days

    We goof on this person, but in my experience this kind of shameless begging usually works to some degree.

      „Fake it til you make it“

      There is a debate to be had about how far this is morally acceptable. If you‘re trying to promote your nonprofit and ask friends to ask their friends to look at it I‘d say thats fine.

      But asking bluntly for fake reviews is not ok imo. I‘d report this person immediately. I‘d rather make a nice post on every social media platform that fits my topic and plainly ask folks for feedback. This just seems lazy and uninspired.

      But you do you.

          Generally, yes. I’m not gonna infringe on someone else’s actions as long as they dont endanger someone (themselves or other) because its not up to me (or anyone else) to be helicopter parents and “correct” everyone else.

          As I said, I would report this person immediately.
