> we have lowered the bar to app creation so far that a person can now create and market an app faster than they can evaluate and understand the existing options

I don’t understand the unnecessary gate keeping here. There is no imaginary bar that someone should hit before sharing something they created. Who cares how it was made? If someone made something and it’s gets attention, that’s already enough merit for the post itself.

Sharing things people create should always be encouraged. If something isn’t “worthy” of your made-up standards, then move on. There’s really no reason to bring someone down for it.

> Sharing things people create

That’s the thing though, they didn’t even create the comment they posted here.

If this was a small project communicated honestly then great, I’m all for it.

My edit was about a structural insight, with parallels we have already seen play out in the search space: with no standards for sharing things, or at least for presenting things, an inevitable floating mass of attention-splintering garbage results.
