Top three replies to the PS thread:

For the other threads I saw, some were actually individual efforts, others were just ignoring “the man behind” and talking about the tech. Changing my search to “woman behind”, I saw no comments disparaging the level of contribution.
EDIT: I’m also by no means justifying the vitriol in the black hole thread or the harassment. Just doing some legwork.
