Are iPhone Apps now randomly begging you to rate them?

Here’s something that I had not seen before. It may not be a new feature but I thought it was strange when my NY Times application presented a pop up window asking me to rate the application. I’m used to only seeing that prompt when I delete an application and not while I’m in the middle of using it. Let’s hope that it’s not followed by prompts to subscribe to the paper version or some other type of pop-up marketing nonsense.
