Here's the thing 'if you have problems with it build your own' is a useless response. Anyone can totally point out issues with a thing without knowing how to fix them (especially if the concept is fundamentally flawed). Expecting people to go out and found a whole standard/business every time they make a blog post about the problems with something is ridiculous.

- asow92 8y agoWe're a community of builders, makers, and entrepreneurs. If we aren't here to fix the issues we see in the world, what are we doing? All I'm saying is if OP truly feels the way they do, they should try to be the change they wish to see in the world. Especially since what w3w is doing isn't technically complicated.

- qntty 8y agoIt does provide a value. If people are dissatisfied with something, it gives someone an opportunity to do better. If everyone accepts subpar quality, why bother making something high quality? Makers need consumers with the ability to appreciate their product. Complaining together with others is a way of sharpening your and others ability to appreciate something good when it comes along.
