There is a great way to combat this, use libraries you've reviewed to have proper design and implementation, then ignore the rest. People rely on libraries for the stupidiest shit, and also are really afraid to go against the current flow. If you're not doing TypeScript/VueJS/$POPULAR_THING you don't know anything about JS and you're a dumb developers, which of course is very wrong. And stop listening to recommendations from lifestyle developer streamers who most likely got paid to recommend whatever they're babbling about.
