126 points and 186 comments was not enough to vouch for it. It begs the question:
It's an inflammatory, corporate fallus suckign post, that on top of espousing contradictory and outright toxic stances, also directly insulted this community with its edit.
It has no value.
To answer their awful edit: It is not ironic that a person who thinks we did not address the fact that commercial products innovate and then brings up accountability: We did. We also pointed out the real reason licensed products have a preference is because when something goes tits up and ass down, we can not blame Krita, but we can 100% blame Adobe. It's accountability. That's the irony, the fact it's exactly about the thing they had just brought up. They dare complain we don't read then, drop evidence they don't read us, only because they dare not understand what the counter arguments made are referring to on their end. They are angry and insulting because we dared not shadowbox their strawman.
We have an open forum. It's for discussion. The writer complains that we're not open for communication, and guess what, perhaps we are not. I mean the terms are clear. Ckome here and reply. So that's a no, on their part. Especially when they don't listen and pretend we omitted their points. The line is severed on their receiver.
Why are we like this? Because keeping people like them out is a good thing.
Throwaway to rant, because yours is a rantsona too, Mr. bitboopitybot or whatever you want your name to be read as. You won't read this, but I will forever have the last word. And that's the extent of grace you deserve.
I read it. I don't care who has the last word. LOL (so petty)

Childish petty bootlicking extremism it seems. Someone high top flagged it because their feelings were hurt despite the points, the comments, the traction.
I am grateful that you do not have any more power here than merely embarrassing yourself with childish tantrums. Otherwise, I am certain you would have deleted my account and possibly taken the entire forum down with it.
You talk about the community here and create a fake account for this nonsense. You hypocrite.
I will save your response, screenshot it, share it and frame it... because it answered the question we have all been asking. Why is HN like this?
I agree by the way.. That article covered a lot of topics but most everything in here is a cherry-picked weak man arguments dismissing everything. And anti-Adobe vitriol accusing the author and anyone else criticizing the vibe slop as being shills for..
The alt-account astroturfing and BS social media claims are absolutely happening. Also, what is up with all those "we" and "us" words in the reply to you?!
The angsty group psychosis, the parroting of narratives, and the dogpiling of anyone who dares to challenge the narrative akin to Crypto/Web3.0 is absolutely happening.
