You're not engaging with any of the well-reasoned criticism in that comment. You in fact do not get what the clearly-stated objection (not "rage") is about - it has nothing to do with JS cruft or advertising. That makes me think that any further effort on my part to try to repeat those claims is futile, and you are being "obsessive and uncritical" as the article puts it.
We agree that it is not commendable to be a hater, sure. I think it is also not commendable to be unable to distinguish critics from haters.
- tomhoward 6y agoFair enough, I conflated the other comments complaining about web bloat, with this one, complaining about centralisation and security. But isn't this just the problem when the actual substance of the comment is wrapped up in such a mean-spirited package. So, the point that I can discern, and that you seem to be endorsing, is that this product has security and centralisation risks, and therefore it shouldn't exist and that we should hope that the company "fails and fails hard" and that they "crash and burn", and that the founders's work - years of hard work by a fellow hacker/creator - amounts to nothing. OK, if that's the kind of critiquing that people think is beneficial and makes them feel good about themselves, good luck to them!
