This was not /r/roastme/ or /r/roastmystartup/ it was a perfectly normal (for Reddit standards) hobby/niche subreddit and I didn't ask to be roasted, I was offering help as in "hey I built a thing to help you, what do you think? And then I was eviscerated.

It can happen sometimes yes, I've been roasted in a bad on some subs before.
That's really not the majority. What i understood afterwards was: the guys there weren't my target, my product didn't help them at all. They felt like I'm promoting out of the blue, and i got my ass kicked.
I just moved on and found a most targeted subs
In fact, I've been roasted in a few subs and get some really good feedback from others. If you want to validate an idea, just get as much feedback as possible. The negative ones are the better most of the time. You learn a lot from them!
