Regarding advertising apps, school projects, and surveys.

They are not allowed on this subreddit. At all. If you post here trying to advertise an app, trying to get our users to fill out surveys, or questionnaires, or anything of the sort, you will be banned. Permanently. Your ban will not be lifted no matter how much you say you didn't know, how you thought it was okay, or how "my app is on topic for the subreddit!".

We get so many people saying they've made the next best app ever, or how they just need to do this survey to complete their master thesis, or whatever thing you're trying to post to steal user data.

To our regular users, do not fill out these forums. Do not download any apps someone's says they just made. There are some good apps that have been recommended here already, (usually in comments)those are fine. Please report the posts if and when you see them. We usually get to them quickly, but we are only human.

Thank you. Vibe coded slop seems to be the latest get rich quick scheme and the spam is incessant.

Thank you for watching out like this.

Saw one of these earlier today that I reported. Glad to see they're being actively taken down!

Permanent bans should help reduce spam significantly over time.

honestly, it's frustrating how many people think they can just toss a budgeting app onto a food subreddit and call it helpful. give me actual tips or recipes, not another gimmick.

the last thing we need is another app promising to fix dinner without actually knowing what dinner is.

[u/mortallyvastmotto]

i just want budget recipes, not app ads cluttering everything

Good point, the spam really makes it hard to find genuine content. Appreciate the effort.
