Over the years I've seen people get a lot of hate for things they've poured their souls into who turn around and post snarky/insulting responses that ended up getting them into even more hot water. I always wondered why they didn't respond with their clearly well thought out reasoning behind what they built instead of the snark, even if the original comment wasn't in good faith either. I understand them a little better now.
It's def valid to ask about the value of projects like this, but I think "Please delete this project, as you are actively making the world worse." isn't the right way to start that discussion if that was your intent. I also detailed my thoughts about the whole industry a little further down so I'll avoid duplicating that.
You know, most people go through their lives without attracting this kind of criticism. They might laugh or call you foolish, but to consistently tell you you’re actively making the world a worse place? That’s reserved for a special class of assholes. I’d take the feedback seriously.
