Once products take hold as being "good" according to the groupthink Reddit's strong rewards for parroting groupthink make it almost impossible to go against the grain and get heard to listen to anything negative.
Anyone complaining about M18 tools, Toyota vehicle, Kitchenaid mixers, speed queen washers, etc, etc will find their comment shit upon by people looking for a few quick virtue points for dunking on the dissenter and downvoted to oblivion.

- hombre_fatal 4y agoMeh, maybe “shitting on” a piece of tech just isn’t that interesting and your points aren’t as novel as you think? “Javascript bad amiright guys? :D” isn’t even so welcome here anymore.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoNah, I'm not "this thing sucks" kind of guy. More like urghh it's too late now to speak out about "this is unhealthy, don't you see, it needs fixing, shall we?". Simplifying issues into kids' fistfight isn't even so welcome anywhere.
