Could the long App Store review wait times be due to AI slop submissions?
That would suck. And that’s not a situation going away anytime soon.

Do I have to say it?
You know my spiel by now.
My Mac App Store update still hasn’t been reviewed, but now I need to start over in the review queue for all platforms because of a new fix.
At this rate, the update will never be shipped.

Apple's new software design chief, Steve Lemay, was "a driving force" behind Liquid Glass and was "deeply involved in its development."
Welp, so much for the savior.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I probably need an editor. But I’m not a professional journalist, just an amateur writing on the internet for free.
When I spend a lot of time writing a blog post, I often edit myself, revising and rewriting to tone down the language from the rough draft to the final version.
My “hottest” takes are usually the hastiest takes.
Everyone could choose to ignore me, and then I would fade into the background.
Clearly, though, a significant number of people are interested in what I have to say.
Thus, it seems to me that if there’s a problem, I’m not the sole problem. I’m merely a spokesperson for many others who choose to read and share my views. Criticism of me is implicitly criticism of them too.
Dilemma:
If I restricted myself to informative and/or “positive” posts, I would say a lot less. I don’t have an endless reserve of those, unless I started posting totally trivial things, e.g., “Mmm, dinner was good.” Not that anyone is interested in my dinner.
This *might* make me less disliked on the internet, or maybe it’s too late for that. It would certainly make me quieter, less *noticed* on the internet. Am I supposed to fade into the background for the benefit of those who dislike me?
I subscribed to Netflix for one month.
Now I’m subscribing to Apple TV for one month.
That’s the way you do it.
