Is there anything that can be done the next time the old 2020 post goes FP, to direct people to consider the 2022 followup as well? Or is that burden of “seriously, stop rehashing 2020 content instead of keeping up with the discussion” exclusively the author’s to bear?

Given the options I know of today for authors, if they’re still reading comments here, I’d recommend they replace the 2020 post with a redirect to the 2022 post, and include the 2020 post at the end of it fully intact. At least that would ensure the flamewars cycle on the complete conversation and not just half of it.
