OK, so Apple isn’t big on responding to feedback:
Nickkk’s numbers eclipse mine: I’m 0/10 on responses/acknowledgments/signs of life over the past couple of years. And you know what…
That’s OK. They’re telling us they’re too big for that. OK.
Accepting this fact, how can Apple avoid hurting their fanboys’ little feelings, like through better transparency setting expectations? Could we get some recognition, some social features, automated acknowledgments, a “thanks, archiving” email after 18mo w/o response for a sense of closure… anything?

Will I do free labor if it fixes annoying bugs in products I use myself, yes.
Will I continue shouting into the void, well even I’ve gotta put my foot down somewhere.
PS: to open the feedback tool, launch this URL (e.g. via Open URL in Shortcuts):
applefeedback://
I have 28 open right now, first one from 2023. I have never once gotten a response. The one bug triager intern they have is clearly completely overwhelmed.
There’s a reason I have the Feedback shortcut set to have a trash can icon.
