It doesn't work well for thousands of people, which is why there are always complaints.
You can say the exact same things about his post asking them to fix the controller. Oh "the entitlement" and "that's his problem, not the controller manufacturers". We're asking him to fix his posts. He's asking them to fix the controller.
When something is suboptimal, you're well within your rights to complain about it. Posting long rants as Twitter threads is suboptimal for the consumers of said threads, just as a controller you can't turn off is suboptimal for the consumer of the controller.
Same same and fair game.

- delecti 5y agoI'd rather read a twitter thread than a medium or substack post. It's not suboptimal for all of the consumers of their tweets.

You can complain about it on your own Twitter. Here, it's explicitly against the HN guidelines: "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
