The author edited his post with a follow-up.

  [Update (2025-02-12): This post, which I thought of as a hasty update to the handful of people who followed my links, was posted to Hacker News for some reason.

It covers the author's pre-judgement; he admits he didn't put in the work and he tells us to use our judgement and not his.

The part that's not addressed is "I want to reluctantly recommend even less services(/people?)." An eagerness to detract may not be hate but we're right to be wary of it.
