I certainly understand that and I hope I didn't come off sounding ungrateful. A few years ago, I spent a lot of time writing articles and recording videos for my blog and, fortunately, I never had to deal with such negative feedback. I can certainly see how it would discourage you from continuing.

It's simply a bit disappointing sometimes to Google for something, find an article that sounds like exactly what I was looking for, discover it's a "part 1" that didn't quite cover what I needed, then go looking for "part 2" and realize it was never written.

It is also often the cast that best intentions lead one to write part 1 but life gets in the way for part 2. I try to tune out feedback that isn't constructive (like a lot of feedback is these days). I wonder if it is (or could become) a thing to ask the original author if they'd mind someone else taking up a new draft?
