I wish that the hype crowd would do that. It would make a for a much more enjoyable and sane experience on platforms like this. It's extremely difficult to have actual conversations subjects when there are crowds of fans involved who don't want to hear anything negative.

Yes, I also do realize there are people completely on the other side as well. But to honest, I can see why they are annoyed by the fan crowd.

Exactly, IME the hype crowd is really the worst at this. They will spend 8h doing 8 different 1h tries at getting the right context for the LLM and then claim they did it in 1h.

They claim to be faster than they are. There's a lot of mechanical turking going about as soon as you ask a few probing questions.
