How many times is this written after every single beta?

The complaints are always the same, from the same people. The unwarranted negativity. It really diminishes from the fun, interactive community these forums should be encouraging.

Yes there is need for feedback, including negative feedback. That's what a forum essentially is, a space for discussion.

But if you have tried every beta since 2013. And weren't happy with those, talked them down in each new release forum. Well then maybe don't download betas?

If you aren't developing, or atleast have the patience and curiousity to put up with any bugs, DO NOT DOWNLOAD BETAS.

There I said it.

It's the people with 1000+ post counts who never help, never say anything positive but somehow still buy and use Apple hardware while spending months or years posting a torrent of relentless negativity* that really get me. How much do you have to hate yourself to do that?

* in before someone sets up the "so I should only say good things about Apple. Blah blah fanboy sheep". No

I'm not a dev, but i've only been jumping on iOS betas since iOS8, where there were many times where the betas contained bug fixes and were more stable than the latest public version.

As of right now, for example, 10.1 beta 3 is more stable than iOS 10.0.2 (in my experience)
