It's getting really annoying lately. I keep getting messages to rate apps... Even on stuff I've already rated.
 
It's pretty annoying and I've noticed that when they have a "don't ask me again" option it never actually works. This trend seems to have started because podcasters and youtube channels noticed that they'd get better results when they asked for ratings/subscriptions rather than letting it be the listener/viewer's own idea to do so.
 
You can help dissuade this behavior by dutifully giving one-star ratings to any app that uses a pop-up like this.
 
These are so pushy, you have had the app installed for about a minute and they have this pop up.

I found that even after leaving a review on that 8 ball pool app, they still ask for a rating (facepalms).
