Apple products are bad now despite having a pretty similar rate of technical glitches they always did

It’s just the changes impact the HN crowd more now so complaining em masse is allowed

It’s meme-tribalism

No one wants to be the one to have to give up on their meme

This is a wonderful subject, memes and group think, I would say everyone feels like they are part of an minority/snowflake community in some of their views. Memes just makes it easier to get that feeling.

So it is not possible to have these discussions without the out-group interpreting your remarks as snarkiness. Handling that is hard, FUD is one way to handle it, compassion another. Social interactions are hard.
