Yeah, the amount of snark, nitpicking, and cynism has gone through the roof. They should rename the site to Nitpicker News. Case in point. Someone posted their tool to help people with ADHD focus. Most comments were "Aw, don't make me watch a video." The video was 65 seconds long. Or someone posts a chart maker tool and the first complaint is that the poster used the phrase "visually stunning" to describe the tool's output. Or the very common "I clicked on the link and the page asked me to sign up to their newsletter. What is wrong with the world?" complaint that is posted on every article regardless of topic.
