In my experience, examples are only useful if they have two points of comparison side by side.

For example if I'm looking into a new library that claims to simplify my app's architecture or reduce boilerplate, I need to see what the alternative would look like for a given example, otherwise it's just a baseless claim.

Same as things that purportedly "scale". Since every library under the sun claims that as a benefit, I wouldn't even bother recommending any of them to anyone on here without an example of a large app both with and without the library, pointing out the specific sections of code that change for the better.
