Yes the Apple cult may have always been here but has grown more aggressive and defensive the last 5 years or so. Check any Apple thread and you will see similar results. You cannot utter a word of criticism towards the company without mass downvotes.

I think you've misread the comment you're replying to; otherwise, I'm not sure I understand how your comment applies.

He's saying the post claiming that Apple kept the 30% was fishy (and false). I don't know about a cult, but in this case, the criticism was unfounded.

Ironically, your comment is an example of a cult of the anti-cult - always looking out for signs of that other cult.

mmm... that's the exact opposite of this situation - statements in favor of Apple were downvoted.

Likewise the FOSS cult. It has been ever thus. Both sides make false claims regularly.
