Why did AppleBetas leave the Jailbreak scene?
The toxicity of the jailbreak community is a major reason behind him leaving tweak development.
It is filled with teenagers and kids who keep heckling developers on Twitter and love to pirate tweaks.
Just about a week ago, developer Wizages left the community and now AppleBetas. Even CokePokes and Luca Todesco have left the community because of its toxicity.
At this point, we should just wish him good luck in his future endeavors and hope he makes a quick comeback.
