As someone who has made lots of free stuff that tons of people actually use, the internet is full of people who think that they are super insightful and that their scathing indictments of the shade of grey that you picked are incredibly useful. It’s full of people who think that they are entitled to have no social skills because they “know UX”.
It’s orders of magnitude easier to destroy than to create, and our culture is all about supposed experts gate-keeping with their banal comments about UX problems that boil down to personal preference.
To be clear, i definitely agree, the internet is full of crazy people with irrational complaints.
I suppose i consider that part of the price of putting oneself out there. Its hard to imagine getting rid of that without throwing the baby out with the bath water, so to speak.
