- Flathub banned slopcoded apps, and research found 120 unique repos: 32 maintained, 88 abandoned or deleted soon after submission.
- Reviewers waste time on lazy developers using AI agents, as 70% of apps are abandoned quickly, creating minimal effort for creators but maximum effort for reviewers.
